When the good Lord tests your faith...

It is sometimes pretty amazing to see the way that God can work in your life. Some days, like today in the Daly household, you can get such amazingly wonderful news and within hours, the worst possible news. You begin to wonder if with every blessing there is a cost, but there isn't a ledger.....just pure faith that comes from knowing that even when the answer is a resounding "no" that there could be an even better "yes" to follow if you have the faith and commitment to see it through.

There is much news to catch up on, to be sure. And in the course of the next few hours and days, I intend to do just that. But it has been an odd week here -- one for the record books, truth be told -- and life has gotten in the way of blogging.

We'll get back into it in just a moment so stand by, friends & combatants monitoring this site.
