I was
praying for Ben and was reminded that God doesn't need chemo to heal
Ben. Just thought I would pass that along. Blessings & prayers! P.S. I
was talking to Marie Kirby yesterday during work at YFC and she said
that she sees Ben as a minuture Billy Grahm in the future. I think he
already is! What a blessed boy! We will all keep praying for healing
from surgery and healing from his tumor!

Faith
Such a
small word but oh so powerful.
What
is faith?
Hebrews 11:1 says: Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.
Wow!
What a
wonderful place to be!
Being
sure of what we hope for an ABSOLUTELY certain of what we do not see.
It
seems so simple
We
must NOT lose faith as God is still in the miracle business! We must NOT
stop believeing for Tom and Jennifer remain strong and faithful through
this all.
God
hears all our cries out to him in Bens behalf and I can promise you this
in no way was a surprise to our heavenly father. He knew the outcome
before it even began.
Satan
only wishes we would curse God at this point.
We
won't.
Instead we will thank him for the removal of more than 2/3rds of that
tumor! We will thank him that Bens eyes are open and that he's moving
all limbs! We will thank him for Bens smile and contagious laughter! And
most importantly we will thank him for Bens life and his fighting spirit
that HAS and STILL continues to touch so many!

Sitting
up and smiling!! Thank you Jesus! Last night I cried tears of sadness.
Tonight I'm crying tears of joy. Our God is a God of miracles, and we
believe He can do whatever He wants to do. And Tommy, you are so right -
He certainly has a plan for Ben. He is holding Ben, Eli, and both of you
close to his heart. I'm praying for continued improvement, miraculous
healing, and comfort, rest, and peace for all of you. I know you must be
exhausted. Go get some rest and let the Shepherd tend to you. Isaiah
40:11 "He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his
arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those who have
young." Much love to you all.

Tom and
Jennifer, I know that I have told you about the couple at my church who
while being pregnant had an ultrasound and there was a tumor. After the
emergency Csection, the baby was born with no tumor found although a
small portion of her brain was missing. Well, it has been brought to my
attention that the baby fell out of her crib last week and was rushed to
the hospital because she was coming in and out of conscience. Thankfully
it was only a mild concussion but the following day she saw a
neurosurgen to have an MRI and they have found that the part of the
brain that missing is now there. No explation other than we have an
AWESOME God. Never give up your fatih. With much love....

Ben and
your family have been in my thoughts and prayers every day since I met
the beautiful little man in Memphis. My heart breaks for your family but
I am reassured because God's loving hands are in control. I am praying
that God's grace brings you comfort and peace during these difficult
days.

God is so
good. He hears our prayers. Sarah Hastings said it so well. It's one
breath, one moment, one day at a time, making the most out of what you
are given at that time and trusting God's plan above all.

Tom &
Jennifer, I wanted to let you know that you have been in my thoughts and
prayers all day. I have been checking with Tammy before she left on how
Ben was doing. Ben is being prayed for by many wonderful people that
love him. If there is ANYTHING that you need, please let me know. I can
be there in 20-30 minutes. So if Eli would like to come play, you need a
home cooked meal, errands run or anything, I would LOVE to be able to
help. I will continue to pray for you. We love you. Pepper

Tom &
Jenn: We've been closely watching the website this week and have prayed
diligently throughout each day for the specific posted needs. Through
these difficult and exhausting days they are still reasons to rejoice.
It is our prayer that not only will growth be retarded, but that the
tumor will whither and die (in Jesus name), that both your hearts will
be encouraged, your bodies refreshed, and Eli will feel such an
outpouring of love that anger and fear will have no place in his heart.
And Ben, that sweet smiling little man, we continue to believe God for
healing as all things are possible. Our thought today-while it might
make things easier if we could begin to understand why your family, why
this disease, why little Ben - it's not for us to understand. What is
for us is to continue to look through our eyes of faith and believe God.
Praying for sweet rest for you both and agreeing with you for Ben's
healing, T&N

Dear
Jennifer, I am a nurse and I trained at Cabbell Huntington Hosp. I live
in Ky where I have been a nurse for 36 years. My heart goes out to all
of you in this time of illness. I told you about myself because I want
to gain your trust in what I need to say. God laid it on my heart to
study NUTRITION about a year ago. That has lead me to many wonderful
discoveries. I too was trained to believe in and trust convitional
medicine. Since doing research on nutrition I believe God wants us to
get back to what HE created for us as food . OurBodies are made of all
the things found on a Masterchem test plus much more. Where did these
things come from? the earth. Our food should come directly from the
earth if we are to be healthy. For a baby in our church a formula called
NEO-CATE helped to desolve a tumor in his stomach from birth. Little
Jacob Sloan is now a year old and no mass, no surgery. If this could
help your little Ben I would be most pleased. I strongly believe God
made our bodies to heal itself if given the right ingre
