I had
been unable to find Ben's page for awhile -I am so glad I found it
tonight! We have been following his story since the basketball
fundraiser in Charleston - I carry his picture in my purse. He is an
incredible little boy and you are incredible parents - such an
inspiration. You folks are in our thoughts and prayers always - just
keep the faith! We serve a mighty God and He is able. Tom, Jennifer,
Eli, and Ben - God bless you all!

It was
such a blessing to hear that Ben seems to be doing better....Praying for
all of you daily and believing that God can!.....I am praying that He
will demonstrate to the world,through Ben,that He truly is the Great
Physician....that He would receive all the glory and honor and praise.
In the meantime,I am so glad to hear that you are laughing, playing,
resting, trusting, and cherishing that which is most important...You are
good and lasting gifts from God to one another. May God bless each
moment...that others may see Him in and through you...Keep your eyes on
Him and walk on water...May He sustain, strengthen, and nourish each of
you as you face each moment of every day. Always praying and
believing.... Lara

Hi! I am
so glad to read that Ben is handling radiation well, including the daily
NPO and sedation. What a champ! And I'm even happier to read that Ben is
his old happy, playful self. We have been praying for Ben every day. Our
hope and prayer is that this radiation will give you many many more
happy days with Ben and, God willing, that Ben will be completely
healed. Love and prayers to you! Jen, Bill, Brady and Saint Zachary

Hey guys.
I'm so thankful that Ben seems to be doing okay with the radiation. I
couldn't help but smile when you said he was feeling like his old self
and climbing all over everything. Bowen's will be Bowen's - especially
the boys. I love you guys - give the boys hugs and kisses from Nana and
me - still Praying and Believing. Love Aunt Karen.

4:6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7.And the
peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts
and your minds in Christ Jesus. Tom/Jennifer I know that you both KNOW
this verse. But as you read it - read it slowly and let each word fill
you, think about there meaning. Still praying/seeking/believing -

Eli sure
is one smart boy. It is wonderful to see the belief and love you have
for God is instilled in such a young child. God is bigger. God's plan
for each of us is something we may not understand, but we MUST trust
that God knows best. I wish I had some magic words that would help Eli
understand why this has happened to Hanna, but I don't. Praying for all
of you.

Dear Eli,
I have been reading about you and Ben for about a month now, and I just
wanted to let you know what a special young man you are. I bet you
already know that huh? I know you miss Hanna, I do too. I'll say a
special prayer for you each night, that your sad time will pass and you
remember only the happy times you had with Hanna.

Hi Tom
and Jennifer,Eli and Ben, I hope Ben is feeling well and getting along
well. I pray everyday for your family that GOD gives your family a
miricle. I guess God is already giving you a miricle by being able to
hold your son another day. I think Karley, and Hanna are in heaven as
Bens guardian angels, and im sure Hanna is telling Karley what a special
boy Ben is. Tom and Jennifer Its been an honor to get to know your
family. I only regret it is under these conditions,but hopefully with
Gods help we will all understand his plan for all our familys,and the
miricle of a full recovery for Ben. GOD bless ! One Day at a Time!! mike
