Jesus loved the enthusiast, the man who knew what side he was on and threw himself whole-heartedly into the struggle. He liked energetic action, as in the men who climbed the roof and broke a way through for their paralyzed friend, or in Zacchaeus who forgot his dignity and swarmed up a tree. He loved the generous giver. All four Gospels quote His saying, 'He who loves life loses it; he who spends keeps.' It sums up His attitude to life. He praised the man who banged on the door till he got an answer; He wanted men to show that kind of determination in the affairs of religion. He praised the widow who badgered the unjust judge into doing justice. He did not like playing for safety or burying one’s talent. It is the peace-makers rather than the peace-keepers whom He blesses. Goodness is a positive active loyalty (Hugh Martin).

Oh man, VB is incredible...IF you can get past Pritzl's diva complex.
Don't get me wrong, he's a very, very nice guy with a deep faith, but MAN
when I was running sound he was a serious pain when dealing with the
monitors (I figure if Mike Roe doesn't complain about the monitors,
nobody has a right to do so). Regardless of the frustrations, I became a
big fan after running sound for them.

They freaking rock!
