Know also that you will probably gain more by praying fifteen minutes before the Blessed Sacrament than by all the other spiritual exercises of the day.

3 Doors Down asked us if we could fill in for them, and we are very happy that we were able to rearrange our schedule to do the show. We apologize to our fans in Portland, but we will be back on the 22nd, and we ask for everyone's understanding. Our thoughts and prayers are with Brad, and we send our best wishes to him for a speedy and complete recovery.

I have had prayers answered - most strangely so sometimes - but I think our Heavenly Father's loving-kindness has been even more evident in what He has refused me.
