David Squires from Doylestown, PA
The words from Deut. 6:4-9 are called the Shema in Hebrew, according to the first word which means "Hear!" As a Jewish Christian, I choose to post a small box, inside of which is a hand-written parchment scroll of the words in Hebrew. This box is afixed on the front door to my apartment, in solidarity with the Jewish nation. Humbly, I am supposed to recall the presence of the Lord in my life, each time I walk in and walk out of my home. I am also supposed to remember that the same Lord is concerned for the lives of my neighbors, who live just to the right and left of my home.
