Common Sense

Meet Ben. He’s the guy incessantly running into the elevator doors in this movie: Christian Science and Common Sense.

As I look through the footage we shot, I count Ben ramming into those wood paneled doors at least 70 times; slapping them 5 times; wagging his finger at them twice; and rubbing his butt against them once. Surprisingly enough, even after such a beating, both Ben and the doors were left unblemished and functional!

While it can be amusing to witness outlandish, nonsensical physical comedy, I think it is well illustrated in the video how impractical it is to stick with something that isn’t working for you. (I mean come on, press the elevator call button, take the stairs, ask for help already!)

Christian Science as a method of healing gets unfairly attacked for being a “do nothing” approach, and Christian Scientists are said to be impractical. But just as Andres (the guy in the fancy suit) said, Christian Scientists aren’t going to continue praying for healing unless results follow.

Christian Science offers a specific way to pray and treat physical challenges, relationship issues, or emotional distress. I know from experience how much insight, inspiration, and freedom I’ve gained from a Christian Science healing.

I got a kick (no pun intended) out of filming and editing this video! Ben kept us laughing the whole time. Andres acted muy suave in his attire. Liz shouted out good directions and held up the boom mic with her buff arms.
