    I read your story Steve, and it was very heartwarming. Thanks for sharing it. God has a way of reaching us at His own time. I accepted Christ in July 2002, and it's been an incredible journey. I can't say it's been easy, but the challenges I've faced always point me to a Heavenly Father who will...
