Lord,
Please watch over the Bowens and give them the much need strength and
peace that they need right now. Help Ben deal with his treatments and
all that comes with it. Help sweet Eli breath better and enjoy being 3.
Give them all the strength to make it through this. They trust you
completely. But cant help but to be afraid. As we all are for them. Give
them your comfort, unconditional love, strength, peace and
understanding. In Jesus name we pray Amen.

Tom and
Jennifer, We know its difficult as treatment starts today, therefore, we
stand before the Lord on your behalf all day long and even into the
night.We are holding your arms up before God for
healing,grace,strength,wisdom,and protection from satan because in times
of weakness he likes to come in the back door.Keep your guard up and be
alert.Keep your eyes focused and fixed straight on Christ.There are so
many thoughts and voices out there. I know its not easy , but there are
literally thousands of people standing in love and prayer. You are very
loved and appreciated. In Christ, The overstreets.

My
thoughts and prayers are with you and your family for the full recovery
of your son. Like you, I was at Ground Zero. We have many things in
common and someday, our paths will again cross. Keep the faith, whatever
it is.

There are
no strangers in the family of God; you are our sisters and brothers, so
we share in your struggle with little Ben. Ben's picture is now my
screensaver---I see him constantly throughout the day and lift your
family and all who care for Ben and you up in prayer to our Father. We
are fighting this good fight with you. Our love is always with you.

Ps145:17-21 17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward
all he has made. 18 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who
call on him in truth. 19 He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
he hears their cry and saves them. 20 The Lord watches over all who love
him... 21 My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature
praise his holy name for ever and ever.

Tom &
Jennifer, I am the pastor's wife at Big Sewell Baptist Church in
Rainelle. This is the home church of Phenia Simmons' parents, Bill &
Brenda Lawrence. We learned of little Ben's troubles through the
Lawrence family and they continue to keep us updated. Please know that
our hearts and our prayers are with all of you. The Word tells us that
God will never put on us more than we can bear. When we think we can
take no more, He gives us added strength and courage. You have great
faith. Continue to trust and lean on Jesus Christ. He will not fail you.
We continue to pray for healing and God's will. You have more friends
than you realize. In Christian Love, Carolyn and members of Big Sewell
Baptist Church

I will
hold each of your hearts close to mine. To accept God's will is the
grace he left us with. Stay strong as God is right beside you and shares
the same hurt and pains as you do....

Your site
was sent to me today by a friend, news of little Ben sure is traveling
fast. I have two little guys my self. ( 21 mo.-Jordan and 4
years-Dylan.) There is so much power in prayer and I will help spread
Ben's story. He's a beautiful baby! The pictures of your family are
precious. Happy birthday to Eli! Birthdays are BIG deals at that age.
What a cutie pie! I know you must be so tired, but God will give you
rest.

What a
precious little trooper you have. Ben is so brave. Isn't God good to
give him the strength to endure what he is put through. There is no one
else that could give him such strength. We continue to check the site
and pray for you ALL daily.

I had my
dogs at the vet and read about Ben's story there. I promise to keep all
of you in my prayers everyday. I am telling everyone I know to pray for
you all and to put you on the prayer list at their churches. It sounds
like Ben is handeling all the tests like a trooper. Eli is probably such
a big help to Ben. I hope his asthma stays under control. Remember that
all things are possible through Christ. Heather

Hello
Bowen family! We are not able to contribute financially, but please know
that Ben and your entire family are in our prayers. Our daughter Jordan
was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma at the age of 26mos in November 2001.
She went through chemo, relapsed, then had radiation last summer. She is
doing great and I am praying that this time next year will find Ben
healthy and happy and back at home. We also have a Ben, ours will turn
two on the 24th. With love, hugs and prayers, Angela Atherton (Jordan
Alyssa and Benjamin Joseph's Mommy)

We are
with you each day with prayers and hope. I went to Taylor's website. The
song at the beginning was beautiful and heartbreaking...and by the end,
comforting. Will we see a picture of the party? Love, Shannon and Mary
