Adam's Final Resting Place
Lake Palourde

Twenty-Third Psalm

The Lord is my Shepherd:
I shall not want.  He maketh me to lie down in green 
pastures:  He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul;
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for His name's sake.  Yea, though I walk 
through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear
no evil for Thou art with me:  Thy rod and Thy staff
they comfort me.  Thou preparest a table before me in
the presence of mine enemies;  Thou anointest my
head with oil;  my cup runneth over.  Surely goodness
and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the lord for-ever.
