There is
so much for me to say to Tom's family. Let me say this...God is on the
throne, and he knows the situation, and he is able. He took Karley even
though he was able to heal her. However, I wont ask why, because I trust
him. The greatest thing that gives me comfort, is knowing where Karley
is now. I pray for Ben and your whole family. Peace be with you.

I am
praying for Ben and for your whole family. My father received a
desperatly needed heart transplant 1 year ago - so I know that GOD
works. Believing is powerful and it truly makes all things possible. I
wanted you to know how truly beautiful the new family picuters you
posted are. I just couldnt stop staring into the eyes of your two
gorgeous sons. I too, have 2 sons and will make sure to go home today
and tell them how much I love them. We would like to send something to
Ben and Eli and was wondering what they might like? My sister-in-law is
the Executive Producer of the Nickelodeon show BLUES CLUES and I was
thinking that they might like something from Nickelodeon? Please let me
know. Best wishes, Hallie Twomey fenwaydog@adelphia.net

Bowens,
Mike and I said a special prayer for Ben last night. This morning I
emailed your latest update to the YFC/USA NSC along with your family
picture. Lots of people are lifting up Ben right now in prayer. I pray
also for you that you are able to enjoy some great family time together!
I love the new pictures! My son, Jamie loves to look at the picture of
Ben that we have on our fridge. He points at it and says "Ben!" You are
in our thoughts all of the time!

I check
your website every day for updates. I am so humbled by your faith and
strength. I know it's impossible to stay strong all the time. I don't
believe God expects us to. All he asks is that we continue to believe
Him and have faith. And you certainly have done that. I will continue to
pray for Ben and all of his friends at St. Jude, as well as your family.
Believing with you...

I hope
that Ben will continue to stay so strong. He is such an inspiration to
me that I check your site daily most days 2 or 3 times just to look at
his smile. I think about your family often and would love to give Big
Ben and big kiss and hug. My heart aches to hear of his pain. Ben you
are God's lil' soldier and you will march on........

I'm
fervently praying for you Big Ben :) My kids are crazy about you. I just
want you and your entire family to know how much we care for you guys.
We pray at every thought of you! Tom & Jenn, there are some statistics
out that aren't new, but not known by many of us. Chances of beating
this thing are 100%....yes 100%. Anything is possible through Christ who
gives us strength. Doctors are pretty smart, but they definitely are not
God. So we are sticking to the ultimate healers numbers. Ben has been
such a trooper so far. I love to see the new pictures, the new videos
and read the guestbook. So many people are praying and caring for your
family. God is definitely listening. If you need ANYTHING, don't
hesitate to contact me and my family in California. We would sacrifice
anything to help your family in your time of need! Love in Christ, the
Perkins Family

Tom &
Jennifer, Just a note to let you guys know I check the website everyday
at work at the courthouse, and everyone in the Circuit Clerks Office
gather around to check on Ben.....We all want you to know that you are
in our prayers and when we read the update today from yesterday, lets
just say we were all saddened, but trust in Gods love and keep praying
that God will lay his healing hand on Ben and keep you guys strong...We
were all talking today about Tom when he came into the office, how
strong he was about the situations he has dealt with.....We will
continue praying for Ben and your family and if theres anything we can
do, please let us know....Take Care, Guys, WE LOVE YOU

You four
are so precious to so many of us! My quiet time with the Lord begins
with daily updates at your website. Your picture is on our refrigerator,
but we pray without ceasing, not needing the visual reminder. Little Ben
is fulfilling the Great Commission---he is making disciples for Christ
throughout the world! His smile, his twinkling eyes and his sweet
disposition draw each of us closer to Christ. Our tears flow from the
love we feel for you guys; our prayers are fervently uttered because we,
too, will not stop believing in Him and His promises. Thank you for
giving us all the privilege of sharing your burdens!

You
continue to be in my thoughts and prayers- not a day goes by that I
don't stop and pray for Big Ben and your family. I pray that this trial
is just another step towards Ben's total healing. God Bless to all St.

Hey guys.
Just checked in with Hanna. Such a good kid. Eli and Ben know how to
pick them. Still praying and praying and them some. Hope you guys are
able to rest up. These test should put you in a place to make decisions
that no one would want to make. I pray for sharp eyes and guidence. I
pray it has decided to move on out. Like your friend Bill said. But when
something is bleeding you cannot help but to feel some fear. Stay well
Bowens. Ben my man. You are a GREAT kid. Your smiles do more then you
will ever know. Keep your Mommy, Daddy and Eli in line. God will take
care of you. He will take care of us all. Believing with you.

Hi Tom,
Jennifer, Eli and Ben. I have been putting your updates out to the
people I work with on a daily basis. You have many prayers coming from
NGK Spark Plug as well as the many church's that the people attend. You
are all on my mind so many times each day. I think of you as my extended
family and Love you all! I have a Mother's Prayer calendar on my desk
that my Mother-in-law gave me. Today's entry is by Elizabeth Stone and
reads "Making the decision to have a child - it's momentous. It is to
decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
I sent this entry to Hanna as I also pray for her and her family in this
difficult time. Take care of our Big Ben!

Still
praying for you Big Ben. I pray for you every night and think of you so
often. You truly are an inspiration to me and my family and I get great
strength from reading your updates and seeing your pictures (always
smiling). My son (who just turned 2) and I pray for your healing and
continued happiness every night. God bless and keep you safe and
healthy, little one. Pam Campbell & family...
