Divine Respiration (2 of 9)

Genesis 2:7
So, God literally blew life into everything that lives: everything that is animated. Breath is "ruach." It's the same word as "wind." It is the same word as "spirit." Although he breathed life into all living creatures, only into man is God breathing life that is "in His own image. "There is no evolution here. There is no time here. There is no process.

I have seen folks run in tuxedos, Confederate army uniforms, clown outfits and even evening gowns. I never expected to finish near the front of the race with all the lean, athletic Kenyan runners, but I am happy to say that I never finished last either.

Other runners had stopped to offer assistance and one was applying cardiopulmonary resuscitation. He continued this mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and intermittent chest compression until the paramedics arrived. We later learned that the man's life was spared by the quick response of the runner who was able to administer the CPR.
