Here's what's been going on in a nutshell:

The polygraph examiner who was supposed to confirm the test I passed is saying that he can not give an opinion on the test because he thinks one of the questions I was asked was invalid.

When the polygraph examiner who gave me the test got wind of the situation, he got agitated because he felt like his reputation was on the line. He subsequently had the exam quality control tested by two other polygraphers, one of whom is a high ranking official in the Texas state polygraph world. In other words, two credible polygraph examiners have confirmed the results.

Now we continue to wait and see how this all plays out. The real prayer point here is for the county to see this as legit and to allow me to begin to see my children again. I'm really getting a glimpse into how much gray there is in the supposedly black-and-white world of polygraphs.

On a related note, I'm really feeling a surge of boldness and confidence, and I know it's from the Lord. I need to be careful, though, to have "no confidence in the flesh" (Phil. 3:3). I do feel like we're entering a different season with this situation, and in many ways I feel like it's a season to fight; or, perhaps more appropriately, a season to allow the Lord to fight for us and to rejoice in His victory.
