--Come to
me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you
rest. Matthew 11:28 --this was my verse today in my daily devotion and
thought id share it with you--I know that God is our sole comforter and
in times of heavy loads and despair God is there to hold you and give
you comfort--I continue to pray for Ben and youre family, and I ask God
to hold youre family and Ben in his arms and give you strengh and
comfort and take Bens pain away--Bo

Thinking
of you guys. Try to stay strong. Tom and Jen you guys are great parents
and wonderful friends. I know the past few weeks have been very hard to
watch and each day you just try to make the best of things. Know that
people all over the world are praying for you daily and love your
family. Stay strong. I know that in the end Karley just wanted to be
held, as does Ben. Treasure those moments. Give Ben a hug for us, we
love him! Love Wendy

THE BOWEN
FAMILY, I have been reading the updates. And until now I have been able
to keep a fairly large amount of myself kind of detached. I am with a
happy heart saying that I have somehow incorporated your mission into my
everyday life. I realized today when my friend Stephanie{who has been
keeping in contact as well}brought in some new pictures of Ben that I
had not seen. I cryed. My heart goes out to you. I pray everyday. I
believe in God and that he is our Savior. I wrote a poem today for Ben.
and I want to know if is ok to send it too you. I would like to try to
get it published in a poetry book Iam currently working on and would
like to know if that's ok? It's up to you. Let me know. Lots of Love and
prayers Misty

Dear
Bowen family, I came across your site by accident, but I want to tell
you that I am absolutely amazed with all of you. You are all such
incredible people and I truly hope for the best for you all. I've never
really been one to believe in God, but I can really see God through all
of you, even just over the internet. I will keep you all in my thoughts.
Also, I have never seen a child as caring and generous as Eli at such a
young age. He is truly amazing.

Ben, you
sure do have a lot of friends. That's just because you are so special.
As I have followed your story, I have learned so much. I have learned
that rather than seeking the healing, we must seek the Healer, which is
exactly what your mommy and daddy are doing. I will continue to seek God
and to pray for your miracle.

The
absence of an update gives me pause this morning to stop and pray this
minute for peace and rest, for strength, and for a special outpouring of
love today for all of the Bowens. You have allowed the world to share
Ben, to know your deep & abiding faith in God, and to see your
incredible love for each other. We have rejoiced with you & our hearts
have ached as we cried with and for you. But we weren't alone. The
angels rejoiced when we did and caught each tear in a vial when we
cried. And all the day long as people across the country check the
update, the prayers raised for Tom, Jennifer, Ben, and Eli must reach
the level of a roaring crowd. Regardless of the volume, he hears each
one. May you physically and spiritually feel His incredible strength and
love today. Love T&N

Dearest
Bowen Family, I am still believing. Maybe more now than ever. I juts
want you to know that I stop in everyday to see how Big Ben and the rest
of you are doing. My heart is heavy now that there hasn't been an update
in a few days. I know thatyou are enjoying every minute as a family, and
that gives me a little comfort. You are a truly amazing family and I am
so glad to know you. I know that God has his comforting arms around and
healing hands on each of you. Especially Big Ben. Ben you are such a
strong and loved little boy. My heart is so much fuller since you have
come into my life. Eli, you are a very compassionate, loving and
understanfding little man for your age. You are a great big brother. I
know that Ben loves you very much. Tom and Jennifer, - WOW - what can I
say. You are such an inspiration to us all. I love you all. My prayers
are continuously going up to God. I know that he hears all of them, no
matter how many flood his ears at one time. You have all of my love,
tons of hugs and many many praye
