October 21--Electric Light Day!




Today is
Electric Light Day!

How blessed we are to have light even in the darkest rooms!

"Be courageous! Whatever setbacks America has encountered, it has always emerged as a stronger and more prosperous nation.... Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith and go forward! "--Thomas A Edison

In 1879 after many, many unsuccessful attempts, Thomas A Edison harnessed electricity and created the first electric light bulb, which changed life probably more than any other invention. All of today's technology evolved from Edison's and others' unrelenting work back in the late 1800's.

Most of us today take the electric light bulb for granted. We have lived with it all of our lives, but today take time to thank God for men like Thomas A Edison who dedicated their lives to making the lives of the fellow human beings better.
