Is It Worth It?

Sitting in mud to plant the bare root rose, being stabbed by thorns, bleeding, pruning, watering - is it worth it?
California Dreamin - yes, it is worth it when people gasp, especially when the jaded rose gardener feels the same rush, again and again.
When I hear that the complete set of Luther's Sermons - and The Gems - are in Pakistan as a free PDF - that alone is worth the countless hours spent, and the rush continues.

Where that file goes from there - God only knows. Everyone who encouraged the project, illustrated it, supported it, helped to edit it, readied it for Amazon, and cheered it on - every single person is part of placing the Gospel in Pakistan, the Philippines, and many other places.



Let's give credit to obstruction too. Things happened that were extremely annoying on the print side. That led to the decision to make everything non-profit and public domain. Obviously, the best way to make that happen world-wide was through PDFs lodged in DropBox, a fantastic software program for large files.

Books are given away, too, thanks to donors.
