I asked Dr. Inouye to talk about the response to the story. Here's what she wrote:

Many responses of encouragement, of thanks, of appreciation and generous gifts have come since the article was published which the Lord orchestrated and Beth wrote! Our deep thanks go to each of you who have given and responded so kindly. Many thanks to Beth, whose wondrous gift of writing is evidence of God working in her to touch others' lives...and to Josh, whose gift of seeing through the lens of his camera, speaks of his heart which is willing to see beyond the here and now. The greatest praise, the greatest thanks, is to our Lord and Savior Jesus. He is the One who has done in and through Jubilee Housecalls...He is our Creator, He is our Father, He is our Friend, He is the One who fills us with His joy unspeakable. He is the One Who loves, strengthens and grows us in His love and "stuff happens" that brings great joy, changed lives and the glory is His. It is He Who has done it! And we have had such blessing and fun joining Him in the journey! He says to each of us: Follow Me. I will make you...and so He has. The Lord is so good.

thanks Beth for everything. Hope to see you around. alice
