This person over here with the pumpkin on his head is Dr. Daniel H. Williams III. This person (the REAL one, without the pumpkin) was an amazing scientist, doctor, and role model for anyone. This man did a lot for science, and not only that, but he allowed African American people to help him in his hospital, which, back in his day, other Americans didn’t do too often.
He was born on January 18, 1856, in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. His father, Daniel H. Williams II, died when His son was 10. Daniel III was sent to live with his grandparents, and took up shoemaking as an apprentice. He disliked shoemaking, so he moved back in with his family. He tried to take up barbering, but then decided that he wanted to pursue medicine. He worked as Dr. Henry Palmer’s apprentice, and finished up his education at

In May 1893, he opened Providence Hospital and Training School for Nurses. It allowed African American staff. In 1893, Daniel operated on James Cornish, a man with a stab to the chest. He sealed up his heart and became one of the first to perform an open-heart surgery on a man. The man operated on, James Cornish, lived a length of time after the surgery. In 1894, Dr. Daniel was appointed chief surgeon of Freedman Hospital, a hospital that cared for previous slaves. In 1895, he co-founded the National Medical Association(NMA). It was an alternative to the American Medical Association, which didn’t allow African American members.
When you think about all of this, you realize that it points to God in multiple ways. First of all, performing open heart surgery points to God. When you learn to do something great for others, God is pleased. And second, allowing African Americans into hospitals points to God. God made all people equal, and looking down on a particular race is wrong. Daniel helped stop that wrong. So Christian or not, Daniel’s actions pointed to
Not only is he the most nominated living individual in the history of the Academy Awards (with 49 nominations), but he is also the third most-nominated person in Hollywood History, second only to Metro Goldwyn Mayer (62) Walt Disney (59). In his credentials he holds five Academy Awards, seven British Academy Film Awards, 22 Grammy Awards, and 4 Golden Globe Awards. Considering that obtaining a single nomination for any of the aforementioned awards is remarkable in itself, this astounding number is truly
Daniel Boone, an American explorer and frontiersman, was born November 2, 1734 in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Boone was fathered by a blacksmith and weaver, Squire Boone Sr. and nurtured by his England emigrated mother, Sarah Morgan. Boone was the sixth born and received a skimp formal education, for he learned to read and write from his mother. Boone acquired an education in wilderness and survival skills from his father. Boone just like his father had a niche for woodsmanship and hunting, for at the age of twelve he shot his first bear.
Terry Tempest Williams and Wangari Maathai are both very powerful women who devoted their lives to improving the world one step at a time. Williams, the author of Refuge, is a naturalist, a feminist, and a writer who brings such power into everything she touches. Her passion for change has brought so much goodness into the world. She has beat many obstacles, including her own struggle with herself, which to her is the same fight we have with nature, and finally accepting the outcome; whatever that may be unnatural, or natural, is the secret to life. While we read about what Terry Tempest Williams writes about her mother’s difficulties while struggling with cancer, we also have Wangari Maathai speaking about all the violence she faces in Kenya.
Last Sundy I attended my local church, Lansing Woodview Church of the Nazarene. I was privileged to hear our Rev. David Williams, our Pastor of Discipleship, preach from Luke 7:36-50. He was speaking on our monthly family Sunday when we have all ages in worship. This sermon was also preaching in fulfillment of a requirement for a preaching class he is currently taking at Nazarene Bible College.

Sims, but to his heroic negro subjects, Anarcha, Betsey, and Lucy.” The nauseating pain and detail that Sims pitilessly narrates in his own autobiography discounts the suffering of these women. The undocumented stories from Sims’ slaves themselves are retold as accounts of bravery and courage in later chapters with only a passing mention of concern for their well-being amongst his pages of self praise (Sims 1855). However, Dr. Sims hid his subjects’ race when reporting his results and even went as far to illustrate his operations on white upper class women in his findings. Medical journals later omitted the subjects’ race entirely (Washington 2006). After the successful operations, Sims was honored as president of the American Medical Association, was awarded decorations from Portugal, Spain, Belgium, France, and Italy, a statue that currently stands across from the New York Academy of Medicine, and is affectionately called the “father of gynecology” (Spettel and White 2010). He is also admired for founding the Woman’s Hospital of the State of New York and being an advocate of women’s health (Leonardo 1944). In addition, a marker stands in South Carolina at the birthplace of Dr. James Marion Sims that states, “Sims was honored by the American and European governments for his service to suffering women, empress and slave alike” (Spettel and White 2010).

One of the many famous members of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated that comes to mind when I think about Omega men is Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Dr. Carter G. Woodson is often referred to as the father of black history month. Woodson was born in 1875 close to New Canton, Virginia. His parents James and Eliza Riddle Woodson were former slaves. His father helped Union soldiers fight during the civil war in the United States. His father moved his family to Huntington, West Virginia where he heard they were building a high school for black students. Woodson came from a large poor family who did not have much to offer. He was the fourth of seven children. Growing up, Woodson did not get to attend school regularly as he would have like to. At the age of seventeen Woodson able to

William Bryant did not have a happy childhood. Bryant was born to a surgeon who lost everything and was forced into moving the family in with his Grandparents. Bryant grew up in Cummington, MA, and was a reserved child due to family circumstances. Bryant worked on the farm as a child and was fascinated with nature at an early age. His education consisted of being a prized pupil with an imposed strict regimen which was enforced under the threat of a switch. Bryant’s surroundings required him to make companionships of his thoughts that he gathered from nature. At a young age he learned meter and poetry through hymns from Isaac Watts, taught by his grandfather, a deacon in the church. His continued education consisted of homeschooling by his
Williams Syndrome(WS) is considered as a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by a contiguous gene deletion of about 26 genes from the long arm of chromosome 7(Peoples et al., 2000). Since it had been first aware by J.C.P. Williams in 1961(Lenhoff, Wang, Greenberg & Bellugi, 1997), Williams Syndrome has drawn more attention in last 40 years. the incidence rate is approximately 1 in 2000 and diagnosed generally at 6.4 years old (Morris, Demsey, Leonard, Dilts & Blackburn, 1988). People with WS usually show a developmental delay at the early age and are affected all life long. Williams Syndrome is characterised by some abnormalities in physical, behavioural, and cognitive.
Daniel trusted God with his life, and the Lord saved him from the lions. Persecution still happened throughout the new testament when missionaries were trying to spread the good news of Jesus’ story to the world. An interesting example of this is Saul the persecutor turned to Paul the missionary. Saul is known as one of the worst persecutors to christians at his time. But the Lord had a plan for him and turned Saul's life around and made his Paul who is known as one of the greatest and most famous missionaries in the bible. I’ve always been taught that God has a plan and that is something I try to live by reminding myself of Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” The middle east once the main region of the christian religion in the bible is now a place that christians
Daniel had an intimate relationship with God. Like Job, he loves God, and talking to God in prayer was the fundamental part of his existence. Admiringly, he failed not to pray three times in a day. Hence, when King Darius signed a law that prohibited anybody to pray to any god or human being, except for the King himself, and if anybody would be caught praying for thirty days, that person would definitely be thrown into a lion’s dungeon. (Daniel 6:9) However, Daniel ignored the law and continued to pray to God three times a day. Because of this, Daniel was punished to get locked up into the lion’s dungeon. However, since Daniel was innocent before God, hence, God saved him from the roaring lions that he came out of Lion’s dungeon safely. And
In Daniel 9:1-19, in the NKJ version of the Bible, the heading reads “Daniel’s Prayer for the People.” This is true, in that he is praying on behalf of the sins of Israel. However, there is a deeper meaning behind the supplications of Daniel. We can see that Daniel had meticulously studied the writings of the prophet Jeremiah, who was a contemporary to him, by reading Daniel 9:2.
