One is so closely connected to the other that to say that we love God becomes a lie if we are closed to our neighbor or hate him altogether.

Instead, over the past thirty years, in the world of action and adventure sports, in situations where asses really were on the line, the bounds of the possible have been pushed further and faster than ever before in history.
