A body is made up of many members each functioning in different capacities to make a whole. Such is life.Bag Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01885412195900280096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-210575587086373532.post-89213830574535972762008-03-27T16:33:00.000+07:002008-03-27T16:33:00.000+07:00Just as there is no need of a church roof over my ...Just as there is no need of a church roof over my head to allow me to say a prayer for you, there is no need to stand next to you to bring you to mind. <BR/><BR/>(Don't know who said it, but I copied it down a long time ago.
