In every man and woman's life there comes a time of ultimate challenge -- a time when every resource we have is tested. A time when life seems unfair. A time when our faith, our values, our patience, our compassion, our ability to persist, are all pushed to our limits and beyond. Some people use such tests as an opportunity to become better people -- others allow these experiences to destroy them.
