On the recordMay 15, 1997
I would like to read a couple of Scriptures, just for those who care. Anyone who does not, don't listen. First of all, I have used this a number of times, Jeremiah 1:35 says, ``Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you.'' Or the 139th Psalm, no matter which interpretation you use, it makes it very clear when life begins. Then, I was, not too long ago, at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. I had been to the museum in Jerusalem, and I found the same thing was printed on the last brick as you are going through. This is Deuteronomy 30, verse 19.
