Potential Thought of the Day: "I find it impossible to talk about what makes human beings human without recognizing that our most quintessential human quality is, paradoxically, that we contain--regardless of one's faith tradition--some spark or echo of the divine. For many, this is both manifest in and the source of our creativity...God left the earth unfinished so humankind could work its skill upon it. God left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. God left the rivers unbridged and the forests unfelled and the cities unbuilt. God gave humankind the challenge of raw materials--not the ease of finished things. God left the pictures unpainted and the music unsung and the problems unsolved, that human beings might know the joys and glories of creation."
Dr. Beryl Levinger
When you look down through history, it used to be that during a certain period of history the best of the best artists, thinkers, musicians, writers, scientists, or whatever were believers? Handel? Michaelangelo? Milton? Da Vinci? These guys changed their world through the use of their gifts for the glory of their God.
What happened?
When?
Why?
Hmmmmmm....
