What happens to faith...when faith becomes certainty?

October first was Emma Green's birthday. She and her husband Abel took a lazy Saturday morning stroll down into Frick Park, a 600 acre sylvan getaway, well-loved by the Pittsburgh communities that surround it.

In a hidden alcove, they happened on a small apple tree. Tempted, Emma took a bite, then offered the apple to her husband. He, too, took a bite. At that moment, eternity yawned open, plunging them headlong into a metaphysical reckoning that would shatter the core of what they believed and expose what their hearts had denied. As the couple sought for answers in this uproar, three new souls would announce their arrival - and by their very existence, deliver a supernatural reality into the realm of faith.

Something else, though, had arrived. It was a time of miracles, and not all of them were Holy.
