The readings for this week are either Proverbs 22:1-2, 8-9, 22-23 and Psalm 125, or Isaiah 35:4-7a and Psalm 146, James 2:1-10, (11-13), 14-17, and Mark 7:24-37.  This week we look at the story of Douglas Prasher and Green fluorescent protein.  It is an amazing story of making a huge scientific discovery but also making sure the right people get acknowledged. This is also making sure that people aren't left behind and being aware of their surroundings. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.Remember to answer this week's question:Where do you need to give God praise this week? Where do you need to recognize God doing something amazing in your life and maybe that you haven't stated it? #faithandscipodcast
