.


in  this din of urban indifference
let me hear again the throbbing
        of a heart generous.


in the caves of calloused hearts

Cared for, we are His children, obedient to Him!

*Hebrews 13:5 "...I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

Albert Einstein
Born - March 14,1879
Died - April 17,1955

Einstein died of an aortic aneurism at the age of 76 and the pathologist removed his brain to study it and find out what made him so intelligent.                              
His peers said he was a man of child like quality that made him totally unsophisticated and without worldliness.

But his genius went down in history,
And his brain, after death was exhibited....
