Years ago I wrote out a short story about what happened to one of my children when he was a baby. Greg's story ended as a miracle because he lived after being born with a heart condition that was deemed terminal before two years of age. Recent circumstances, almost 50 years later, have led me to get this story out and turn it into a book. My focus is towards our family, but other readers will be blessed to see how God worked to bring about Greg's miracle. Even though only 24 when Greg was born, I learned many things about trusting God. My journey of faith began there as I learned to take One More Step.
