Dear God,
Thank you for science and new discoveries. Thank you for the people that put so much time into studying to find ways to help others. I ask that you would help us find cures for the many diseases people are suffering from. Amen

I think in the world today we hear all the bad news so it is nice to hear the good news. I think it is really cool all the new discoveries and uses of things we are finding. I think science is fasinating, and I am glad there are people in this world that are taking the time to use it for the good of others!

    That's pretty awesome that even something like a weed can help humanity. Weeds are always thought of as a nuisance but at the same time they may be the key to some great new discoveries!

                  I never thought I'd hear about telomeres again after Mr. Breeden talked about them that one day. I guess they ARE pretty important.
