While we use items in our everyday lives, that would be impossible were it not for the person who invented these things, we seldom give much thought to the inventive mind that thought up the items in the first place. Before we could use the cell phone, the computer, the television, the camera, the airplane, the automobile, or the train, someone had to invent these items and make them not only work but make them accessible to the general public. Of course, these items are just a “drop in the bucket” when it comes to the many inventions there have been over the years of our world’s existence. There have been so many inventions that no one could possibly count or name them. In addition, whether you believe in God or not, it is my opinion that none of these inventions would be possible were it not for God speaking to these inventors. Seriously, have you ever “tried” to come up with an invention? Most of us would be clueless when it comes to inventing something totally new, and that is because these ideas come from God first…like it or not. Just try to think of something that would be useful, and also not done already. Right!! You probably drew a blank. So did I. 
Nevertheless, there were great minds, great because they got their ideas from God, believe it or not, that put these ideas into practical use, and have gone on to make the world a much better place. Without things like planes, trains, and automobiles, we would be severely limited in how far we could travel. Communication and technology would be severely limited if we didn’t have telephones, computers, and even cameras…not to mention the limitations concerning safety. These are just a few inventions, and they are the more modern type. There were also things like the cotton gin, the printing press, microwave ovens, sewing machine, various drugs, and so much more. The minds of those we call inventors have improved life in our world so much, and we do 
owe them a debt of gratitude for their hard work and for their imaginations.
People like Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Marie Curie, Orville and Wilber Wright, Eli Whitney, George Eastman, Louis Braille, Isaac Singer, Karl Benz, Henry Ford, and so many more, have contributed to the betterment of the world as we know it. That is a given, but what puzzles me is how these minds work. How do they think up these inventions. And most of these people go on to invent multiple things. If it was one invention, we could call it a fluke, but when they invent multiple things, we have to believe that we are dealing with a unique kind of mind…a very imaginative kind of mind. The mind of an inventor.
