Thank-you, Jon Foreman

Jon Foreman can write like nobody's business. Well, I think so anyway. He wrote this article on overcoming cynicism, relating back to the story of Joan of Arc and his own life experiences. By the middle to end I'm completely inspired and hanging off every word. History rocks. So freaking cool. And, I love how he weaves seemingly incompatible stories together to make a beautiful, motivating point. History is not separate from today - Joan of Arc becomes just as real as whatever is happening now. We are stories intertwined. My life, your life: one big, beautiful tapestry.

I was going to paste a snippet of it here but I don't want to ruin the profundity of it when read as a whole.
