Marcie, You bring back memories to me.
This is how it all started. When I was brought into the radiation chamber, I clasped my hands and said the entire "Shema" promising GOD that if I were to survive then I would devote myself to helping others. In the process not only did I keep my promise many times but I found that a lot of people also helped me. That is how GOD wants it, people helping others. 18's, Marty On Wed, Mar 19, 2014 at 3:44 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > How beautiful, Marty. Thank you. I will say it every day.
