It was always worth it. "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory." It was the central truth of existence, and all men knew it, though they might not know that they knew it.

We both with Jo Andres think that it is really important to our culture that we support all kinds of music, all kinds of theatre and all kinds of art because you never know what moves people.
