Hi guys!
It was great to see you at church on Sunday! I just couldn't keep my
eyes off Ben and Eli the whole time the choir was up on stage. Ben just
sitting there as content as he could be in his cute little tobogan
eating his snack! Too precious! And seeing Eli clap during the music...I
just couldn't wipe the smile off my face! Your family is such a joy and
so precious in so many ways! Thank you for your witness and for your
faith! I'm still praying and ALWAYS believing with you!

I've read
Ben, on Michael W. Smiths' website, and am deeply touched. I continue to
pray for strength, for all of you, as you go through this. May God grant
all of you peace, as you spend time with your son. Donna Bruggeman

Dear Tom
and Jennifer, You are always in our thoughts and we are thankful you
were able to celebrate this Thanksgiving together as a family. I'm glad
you had an amazing time in DisneyWorld. It's nice that Ben and Easton
can share some time together this trip to Memphis. We are praying for
great MRI results for both boys. Love, Dorothea Stahl and family (Julie
Wargo's cousin)

As I am
sitting at my computer Tuesday evening working on my Awana lesson for
our church's pre-school students, our lesson for this week, "Prayer
Mats," brought my thoughts to you as so many reminders in our daily walk
does. We are praying for you and understand that God is in control of
every situation. As our little one's construct and prepare their own
personal prayer mats Wednesday evening, we will be sure to say a special
prayer for Ben. May God bless you. Dana and Tonya Tomes.

Please
know that my husband and I are praying for you all. We have been blessed
with four beautiful children. My baby was involved in a terrible
accident when he was six weeks old and came very close to dying. Our
Lord spared his life and he is now an active 9 year old boy. Through
that I have also truly learned to "Believe God". Please also know you
have a brothers and sisters in Christ that love you all very much and
will pray for you all continually.

Hello
Bowen family! I linked to your site from Michael W. Smith's site because
Michael had been so touched by Ben's visit backstage!! I'm so glad that
Ben got to go back and say "hi" to Michael!! That is wonderful. Michael
is such a great messenger sent from God who just has a great heart! I
will be praying for all of you and hope that Ben is doing well and
having good days. I am an RN so I can understand the challenges you are
facing. Much love sent to you from York, PA!! God Bless!! Alicia

I
continue to follow Ben's progress through your updates. I pray for your
strength and as a St. Jude parent understand the idea of being a
bystander when your child is facing a real life challenge. My heart is
with you and my prayers follow you. I send heart "vibes" to each of you
especially Eli. While Ben fills my prayers, I want Eli and both of you
to be whole as well. Take care. I know that you are in the very best
hands--loving and caring hands. I also know that our God is a loving and
kind God and will take care of all of you. Blessings on you all.

Dear Ben,
You sure are an angel! My children and I will defintely keep you and
your family in our prayers. Tell your mommy to read Psalm 91 to you
every night before she tucks you in. The greatest power is prayer. We
are with you in prayer. God Bless You!

I just
want you guys to know I'm thinking of you constantly during the holiday
season. I will continue to pray for your family each day, that God will
give you strength and peace, no matter what happens. I don't understand
how the unsaved get through circumstances like you are facing without
the Holy Spirit to guide and comfort them. No matter what trials we as
Christians face, we can be confident that God will help us through. I am
learning (very slowly) to be thankful for my trials because they show me
how much I need the Lord. I can't imagine what a mess life would be if
each of us controlled our circumstances instead of Him. Just know that I
am praying each day. I hope you enjoy this Christmas with your boys. God
bless you all. Much love to you all, Anita Kay

I was
singing a song earlier and while singing it I thought of you
guys....Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own
understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your
path straight. Don't worry about tomorrow. He's got in under control.
Just trust in the Lord with all your heart and He will carry you
through......Sometimes just singing a song can lighten a heavy heart.
Big hugs to your precious boys! ALWAYS believing- Jerica

Tom and
Jen, please know that I'm still praying for Ben (my favorite patient)
and you guys as well. Somehow, I have a sneaky suspicion that God is "up
to something". I am not surprised that Ben made it through the Disney
trip. In fact, I'm believing that God is going to grant a miraculous
healing and let this sickness be a testimony for you. Be encouraged, and
just hang on in there! Remember the WORD OF GOD: "Trust in the Lord with
thine whole heart and lean not to 'your' own understanding." I love you
guys. God Bless, "G"/ Gerald
