EDITOR's NOTE

I will be undergoing surgery today and will be in recovery for an extended period. As a result, this Blog will not receive daily updates for some time as I will be physically incapable of typing during my recuperation. I have posted links in each of the sections below to allow you to manually receive the daily postings. Please use this feature, as well as archives from the same dates on previous years. I will return as soon as possible. I request your thoughts and prayers during this period. Sorry for any inconvenience.
