Good Morning, God,
The headlines are about a local man who did what many of us wish we could do - invent something useful that keeps on being used. Art Segal, who just died at the gae of 101, invented the carbon-tipped saw blade. These blades cut much better, last much longer, and make a worker's life much easier. "There probably isn't a construction worker (or hobbyist wood worker) who doesn't use carbon-tipped saw blades," it has been suggested.
Lord God, it is said that none of us use but a very small amount of the brain power you gave us. What if we "turned our brains loose," brain-storming ideas, sharing inventive thoughts, never pooh-poohing an idea until it has been fully explored? What if?
We might even come up with a better mousetrap - or an end to cancer - or an end to abuse - or an end to...Who knows what we might find an end for.
Open our minds to new ideas, Great God.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
