Was
reading Job this week There was a quote in the introduction to the book
of Job in The Message that brought you to mind. "So instead of
continuing to focus on preventing suffering - which we simply won't be
very successful at anyway - perhaps we should begin entering the
suffering participating insofar as we are able - entering the mystery
and looking around for God. In other words, we need to quite feeling
sorry for people who suffer and instead look up to them, learn from
them, and - if they will let us - join them in protest and prayer. Pity
can be nearsighted and condescending, shared suffering can be dignifying
and life-changing. As we look at Job's suffering and praying and
worshipping, we see that he has already blazed a trail of courage and
integrity for us to follow." Thank you for allowing so many to join you
in protest and prayer. Thank you also for the trail of courage and
integrity that you blazed for us in the process. My life has been
changed by observing and participating even from across the cou

Hi "Big
Ben": So happy to read that you're having a good time at Disney World.
We enjoyed seeing the pictures on your web site, and we know that the
balloon that Eli signed and "sent up" to Hannah was well received by
her. We know too that Hannah is happy and free from pain, and is now
with Our Jesus. But He is still watching over you every minute
also.....Jesus loves you, and so do we. We're praying that Our Heavenly
Father will touch you with His healing powers, and through Our Lord
Jesus, God will make you well and strong again. With love and caring,
Carole & Jim D

Hi Ben,
Eli, Tom and Jennifer, I'm so glad you are having a wonderful time at
Disney....magic happens when you put amazing people in an amazing place!
:-) Just wanted you to know that I've been thinking of you and praying
for you and that people at synagogue this Shabbat asked me about how you
are doing. They are praying too. Looking forward to more updates of your
adventures. Keep smiling. Blessings and Shalom, Adena

Ben, I
admire you and your family as you seem so courageous through the process
of passing through this life and on to the other side. It seems like
you're leaving early but with time maybe we can understand and accept it
a little easier. My daughter who works at Disney has told me about what
a wonderful family you all are. Thank you for deepening our hearts by
sharing your experience with us.

Welcome
home, guys. I thank God for the wonderful, safe trip you've guys have
had. Enjoying life in a way that many will never know. Sharing your
life, and your experiences, has helped so many learn, along with your
family what it means to believe. We've also learned that He often works
in mysterious ways and makes heros of regular people by allowing their
faith to show others The Way. Ben has such a tremendous story. You've
done a great job telling it. I know He is so proud of all of you.
Believing... Robin

I'm
really pulling for you, Ben. Life dealt you a tough hand, but you're
affecting a lot of people positively with it. The response your story
has elicited from those who've heard it is a ray of hope in a dark, dark
world. I don't happen to share your parents' religious beliefs, but
you've managed to touch even those of us outside that circle. Best of
everything in the world to you, Ben. It will be a happy day for me when
your sickness goes into an indefinite remission, and I hope for your
sake- and for the world's, as we could use the good news of your
recovery- that a cure is discovered for you. You are starlight. Keep
shining.

Your
strength, faith, and hope can only come from the One who can truly
sustain us through anything. I have prayed everyday for your family
while in Florida. I was so glad to see that Ben made it through the trip
without getting sicker. Treasure every second. God is Good All The Time.
All the Time, God Is Good. Praying for a miracle. Believing it can
happen. In Christ's Love, Tonia
