Main > Science & Technology > George Washington Carver
Born a slave in the spring of 1864 in Diamond Grove, Missouri, Carver was only an infant when he and his mother were abducted from his owner's plantation by a band of slave raiders. His mother was sold and shipped away, but Carver was ransomed by his master in exchange for a race horse. While working as a farm hand, Carver managed to obtain a high school education. He was admitted as the first black student of Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa. He then attended Iowa Agricultural College where he received a degree in agricultural science in 1894. Two years later he received a master's degree from the same school and became the first African American to serve on its faculty. Within a short time his fame spread, and Booker T. Washington offered him a post at Tuskegee. Carver revolutionized the southern agricultural economy by showing that 300 products could be derived from the peanut. By 1938, peanuts had become a $200 million industry and a chief product of Alabama. Carver also demonstrated that 100 different products could be derived from the sweet potato. He died on January 5, 1943.

You are So Powerful
You are so powerful...

This morning when you awoke you made a choice, the first thought in your head became your choice. how you percieved , intereperted and reacted to that thought was your choice . You choose, you chose , it was a sub-concious concious decision unbeknowst to you.
When the thought was developing in your brain you reacted automatically the way you do most often.The point at which the thought is percieved determines the emotional outcome.
In order to control your thought process you must first slow down your process of perception in regards to your thoughts. How you percieve and process the data that fills your brain as a result of past,present and future events is in all actuality a choice. I am happy today because I choose to be. I lay comfortably in the bosom of my Father and his will knowing that it's all good because it's all God. Your perception is key, some people view the greatest event of all time as the most tragic. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Bottomline, it was a great Idea because My Great God came up with it. He knew that by having his son crucified he would bless the good and curse the evil, my Father is brilliant.
I can only dream to be as great as my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the way he took all of that pain, the way he suffered honorably for our sins. A champion for all. Rejoice I said for the will of the Father is being done.Don't get struck down for grumbling against the will of the Father like the hebrew isralites when moses lead them out of captivity. Rejoice I said.
Choose, make a concious choice to be happy, to except your Father's will and move forward . Apply positive actions to your faith and watch as the mountains move. Oh my God, You are so powerful.
