Posting a Comment 101
For those of you that are fairly new to BloggerLand -- WELCOME!! If you love to people-watch as much as I do, you could spend all day "surfing blogs" and reading about the lives of perfect strangers. However, that's not why THIS blog was created -- this blog is to keep up with Rob and Tammy and Jack and Sophie and DJ Marcelain and send them our love and prayers. Some of you are unfamiliar with how to post a comment and, after looking at the blog, I realize it's really not very self-explanatory. Each 'set' of information I put up is called a post. At the bottom of the post is a line that says, "Posted by Sarah" (that would be moi'), the time (and this one will be at an unbelievable hour -- I have a cold that is interfering with my sleep), and how many comments have already been posted to that particular post. If there aren't any yet, it will say '0 Comments'. Click on the 'comment count' and it will take you to a page that has a blank spot for you to type in your message. If you aren't a registered 'blogger', (which you're probably not if you need this info! :-) then just click on the 'anonymous' button. However, your heading will say 'anonymous', so be sure and sign your name at the bottom of your message. When you are finished, hit the 'publish' button, and voila'! You have left a cyber-message of love and prayers! If you have any more questions, please feel free to email me at sarahstir79605@yahoo.com

I don't know what to say other than we are so scared with you and are praying and praying and praying that this tumor will be healed. We love you and your family and we are going to be lifting you and Jack up in prayer so much.
Sandy's uncle once said, "there are going to be so many people praying so often that we are all going to DISTURB God!" While we can never truly disturb God, I hope it is comforting to you to know that we are going to do our best to try by praying so much and so often.
Our prayer is that God will providing healing and a powerful testimony for you to share with others about how He provided.
We are praying BIG for you guys and are trusting the Lord and his power for healing. Many others are praying with us, some whom you probably do not even know. We all tend to become spiritual parents when we see a child in need of healing even though we should have felt that identity before in the Body of Christ. May Jack feel the tangible touch of God on his head as we all lift him up in prayer!
In Him,
Toby, Care, Kinsey, Kyler, & Karis Christian
" Holy Father please help my dear
friend and student Jack to feel better soon. Be with his Family give them wisdom to know what to do. Take all the fear away. Replace
it with your strenght and courage.
How we love you and trust you. Amen"
You are in our constant thoughts. We pray that God watches over each step the doctors take. Our family will be praying for you many times each day. If you have any need, money, etc. please let us know.
Love,
Wes, Sheila, Cameron, & Mikayla Hilburn
My heart is so heavy today. I can't express how sorry I was to hear the news about sweet Jack. I missed you both today in library! Know that God is watching over Jack and you as well. He will guide the doctors in the right direction. I just know it! You have such a strong faith and are a wonderfully loving and caring family. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers constantly. If there is anything I can help you with on this end let me know!
Love,

Our family went through this last summer. The Doctors in Dallas are great. The Lord blessed us greatly. I pray the same blessings for you.

I was up all night thinking about you. I am praying, I love you! Being brave at a time like this is uncomprehendable. Dear God, Heal Jack!! In Jesus Name, Amen. Derek is fine this morning, he is all smiles with his friends and carring on as usual. I want to talk to him but I am refraining until you have talked to him. He is getting a few extra hugs today. You are God's sheep, and He will take care of you! I am anxiously awaiting for God to answer our prayers the way we are praying them. Love always, Phyllis
Jack and our prayers are with all of you and that Jack is well soon.

May God's richest blessings be on all of you!

My blessings did not stop there, each one of Elaine's and my five grandchildren, DJ, Jack, Sophie, Lauren and Big Zack are special and hold a special place in our hearts. But there is only one Jack, the analyzer, the game rule maker, the master of many funny faces, the deep thinker and my number one jogging buddy.
Jack, there are people praying for you all over the world, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Canada, England, Scotland, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Zambia and South Africa just to mention a few.
Grandpa loves you and is praying hard for you!!

Melba and I will keep on praying. We love all of you very much. God is faithful! And, He loves you, too.

You are constantly on my mind and in my prayers. Tammy, all of David's Psalms that we just studied are rushing through my head:
46: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear...Be still and know that I am God...
55: Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, (we're all doing that!)AND HE HEARS MY VOICE!
62: My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I WILL NEVER BE SHAKEN....my HOPE comes from Him.
God is in control and He loves you all so much. I love you too and wish I could just hold you tight right now. I've asked God to give you an extra squeeze for me.
With my love and prayers,

Know that we are on our knees in England. May HE give you comfort and peace. May HE give peace and patience to Jack as he heals. We love you and wish we could do more from so far away.

We are thinking of you and praying that all goes well. I live next door to Heather Baker (Moms of Multiples) and let her know yesterday - she was going to connect the others.
Love to you all.

I know that God is with you now, but even more so with Jack and the doctors as they perform this surgery. There is power in prayer and I know that for a fact that he hears and will answer. Keep your hands in his and watch GOD go to work.
You and your family will be in my prayer, praying for healing and a speedy recovery.

It was a little over 3 years ago when Chad had his brain surgery. It lasted about 9 hours. God was with Chad and brought him through it. I know he will do the same for your precious son. Please know that our many thoughts and prayers are with Jack as well as with you. May God give you comfort and peace.

We are writing this message from Zambia. We are friends of your Grandfather Robert. When he informed us of your operation we wanted to write to you wishing you the best of luck with your operation.
We would also like to convey to you, your parents Rob and Tammy as well as Grandpa Robert, we will be thinking and praying for your speedy recovery.
Maybe sometime in the future Grandpa Robert will have the opportunity to bring you to Zambia to Visit our kids, they are about the same age as you and would enjoy showing you around,
The best of luck,
Mike, Katy and Doug Gregory
I got a call the other night from my good friend Jo about Jack. I go to church with Jo, who is your sister Tamara's best friend. I know Tamara and think she is a wondeful person. I'm so glad she's there taking care of your other babies. I want you to know there are lots of people here praying for you. WE will keep it going in Clovis, NM!!
Grace and Peace from above!

Just to let you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God continue to watch over each of you.
We love you,

Hello from Kathy in Clovis! Just wanted to let you know you and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers everyday. Of course I talk and see Jo everyday and she has kept me up on everything. I also check in on the blog as often as possible. It makes me feel so good everytime I read the updates on things and the notes people send, It gives me such hope knowing people all over the world are praying together to our Father for Jack.
I want you to know how proud of you I am!! You are there taking care of things and that helps in a big way. God has totally used you in this.
I told Jo how I wish we could blast over there to be with you, but with Scott leaving town again she'll have her kids alone and I'm heading back to help my Mom for a few days. We're all with you though!!
We'll keep the thoughts, prayers, and everything going in NM!!! I send my love to Jack, Tammy, Rob, DJ,Sophie, Mother, Lauren, Zach, well your whole family and YOU!!!
I think it's so awesome the friendship you've had with Jo for such a long time. It is truly a blessing!! She is a blessing to me and through her I got to meet you.
Take care Darlin and I hope to see you when your back through town!!
Grace and Peace from Above.
Love, Kathy Steinle
