Adam

10/2/12  In Genesis, the book of our beginnings, the first book of the Bible, God creates Adam.  From my understanding of Hebrew, Adam is not simply a male person.  Adam represents humankind as opposed to animal kind, or bird kind, or fish kind.  Adam comes from the adamah, the ground, the dust, the earth.  You can see how closely Adam is linked to adamah.  They come from the same root word.

There is a young man named Adam who is in the ICU currently.  He has been there for 1 1/2 weeks.  He has had a brain bleed.  We still don't have a diagnosis.  It is awful hard waiting.  Many people have been praying and supporting Adam.  You can too by going to http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/adamslinkard.  There you will find daily updates, ways for you to contribute, and a place for you to leave your prayers and best wishes.  When I checked a few minutes ago, there had been over 3500 visits to this website on Adam's behalf.  May Jesus Christ be the Great Physician and bring healing to Adam.

Love,
Lynn
