James 1:5 (NKJV) - If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

You know, we’re the most undisciplined generation the world has ever known. How many of you are disciplined? How many go to bed at the same time every night, get up every morning at the same time? How do you discipline your appetites, how do you discipline your tongue? We’re the most weak, effeminate Christianity the world has ever had-no wonder nobody wants it. It has no strength, it has no character.

The Smithsonian unveils a portrait of Henrietta Lacks, the black farmer whose cells led to medical miracles

Lacks' cells have allowed for advances in cancer treatment, AIDS research, cloning, stem-cell studies and so much more.

Her cells are responsible for the polio vaccine, gene mapping and in vitro fertilization to name a few. But for a long time most of the public didn't know her contribution to modern medicine. Neither did she because her cells were harvested without her consent.

This week, the Smithsonian unveiled a portrait of Henrietta Lacks, the black tobacco farmer who ended up changing the world. Her cells have allowed for advances in cancer treatment, AIDS research, cloning, stem-cell studies and so much more. They traveled to the moon to test the effects of zero gravity, and scientists have sold and purchased them by the billions.

everybody say thanks to Henrietta Lacks. Her cells were taken from her without her consent, but they were immortal and billions of them were used to create vaccines and and assist in chemotheropy and antidepressants and advanced the medical field spectacularly. although she isn't credited for the trillions of HeLa cells she has created, her family wasn't compensated, and she was barely ever mentioned in media, she is a notable figure that deserves to be known.

A beautiful black woman who sadly passed to cancer, she is the reason that many of us are alive today

A warrior feeds her body well. She trains it, works on it. Where she lacks knowledge, she studies. But above all, she must believe in her strength of will and purpose and heart and soul.
