"It don't mean a thang without that transcendental swing"
I came across this article from http://www.lashawnbarber.com/ this evening. The link to the article is set below. Charles Murray, co-author of The Bell Curve, advises that our level of human accomplishment for the last 1200 years or so can be tied pretty much to our relationship with God. Interesting reading. When one looks back at all the great things written in ages past, it begs the question, "what have we done lately?" That might explain why things have pretty much gone to heck in a handbag since WW I, the rise of Communism, and pretty much every breakdown in civilization one could think of. To do a 180 on Rick Warren, its what we get when we have purposeless lives, eh?

I'm reminded of the passage of a recent praise and worship song with the lyric, "I'm a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow; a wave tossed in the ocean."
With modern medicine and fairly easy lifestyles compared to past generations many of us are living a lifeless, purposeless life. I think until we are awaken by large events such as 9/11, or hurricanes, many will continue to live lifeless lifes. Only when we realize we aren't in control and we aren't God then we can rely on God and put our signficance in Christ. I really agree that true genius comes out when one has a purpose.
