"A person has to be thoroughly disgusted with the way things are to find the motivation to set out on the Christian way. As long as we think that the next election might eliminate crime and establish justice or another scientific breakthrough might save the environment or another pay raise might push us over the edge of anxiety into a life of tranquility, we are not likely to risk the arduous uncertainties of the life of faith. A person has to get fed up with the ways of the world before he, before she, acquires an appetite for the world of grace."

Now, it's probably just that it's my home culture (though not home town), but the sight of all those usually dour, bitter Londoners (see me reaching for my rural stereotype of city-dwellers!) dancing for joy darned near brought a tear to my eye. Good linkage, Bill.

I especially liked the part in the Korean DMZ. The stone-faced soldier in the background made me laugh out loud.
This really is a cool video. The song is rather haunting, and Matt strikes me as someone who *really* enjoys life.
We should all strive to have in our own lives the joy that Matt has.
