For several years now, news reports have been full of startling breakthroughs in genetic research. Scientists are mapping the human genome, seeking answers to the mystery of life. Some kinds of cloning have become a reality. Specific disease-causing genes have been isolated. We are in the first stages of a history-shaking genetic revolution.

What does your DNA say about you? Like, who are you and where have come from?

DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism. It is made of two linked strands that wind around each other to resemble a twisted ladder-a shaped known as a double helix.

The DNA research is also behind cloning of sheep that became very controversial.

The scientific research involving DNA is used in research of finding cure for certain diseases. There is also research involving our DNA involving our heredity. A person who they are related to throughout history. A person can find their long lost relative by taking a DNA test. (or you can just win the Powerball and you will have relatives coming out of the woodworks.) Then you still will need a DNA test to prove it.

My mother told me that I have my real father’s nose. I have been told that I have my mother’s eyes. My mother even told me that I looked like my Uncle John, her older brother, one of the reason my grandmother kind favored me.

Now my mother looked like her sister, Aunt Rosella, and they both looked like grandma. My Uncle Frank looks like my grandfather, from the picture I have seen of him.

I may not have my step-dad’s DNA, but I’m still considered to be his son. Our DNA is not the only thing that make a person. It’s also the culture we were raised in. I was raised by my dad from the time I was 5 years old. He had been more of a dad to me than my real father; even though I don’t have his DNA.

Do you know that churches and businesses also have DNA?

The Dreadnought D-35 guitar was developed in the early 1900’s. It is known for its bold and loud tone. The back of the D-35 is unique, because of the shortage of wide pieces of high quality rosewood, the craftsmen innovatively fit three smaller pieces of wood together, which result in a richer tone.

My mother made the amazing homemade vegetable soup. She threw everything in it but the kitchen sink. Sometimes, she would even add meat. She sometimes would canned the soup in the Fall for the winter. She wouldn’t canned the meat though with it. When she did heat up the soup she canned, she would add the meat.

Much like the United States, it’s considered to be the melting pot. United States is a country of many nations and cultures. We are blended together to make one nation, united we stand-united we fall. It just seems like some of the American people had forgotten this country’s DNA. It seems like we cannot get along anymore. We can’t get pass other opinions. I mean, if we don’t agree with each other, argument arise, causing a rift in this country.

The last time this country was united was after 9/11 in 2001, after the World Trade Center was destroyed. Now, we are so divided, and can’t see eye-to-eye.

It shouldn’t matter what our political, religious, and views over the vaccine are, we should be united with one another. We should learn to get along.

It was only scrap wood, but Charles Hooper saw much more than that. Salvaging old timbers from a long-abandoned corncrib, he sketched some simple plans, felled oak and poplar trees, and painstakingly squared them with his grandfather’s broadax. Piece by piece, he fits together the old lumber with the new to build the beautiful postcard-perfect log cabin, tucked away in the trees of Northwestern Tennessee.

We need to get pass our differences be united with one another like our founding father intended. We are a melting pot of many nations and cultures, with many different opinions. We are blended together much like my family. If my step-dad could accept me as his son without having the same DNA, why can’t the American people learn to accept others despite of their DNA and opinions?

The church I go to is a multi-culture church, and we seems to get along with each others. If my church can do it, why can’t the United States do it once again?
