In 1963, my son Brett was born with a physical problem that doctors first had a difficult time diagnosing and then didn't know how they were going to treat. But when Brett was two and a half, God stepped in and did a miracle. I'd like to share the story with you . . . …

No matter how much we may think we want something--His way is always the best. And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.Romans 8:28 NLT
God Is Always Greater
