THE COX KIDS HOMEPAGE

          Please rememeber to pray for both those suffering in Hatti as well as the American Missionaries who have been kidnapped and thrown into jail. While it is unbelievable what this world is capable of doing to one another, God will be with those missionaries and our prayers need to be constant until their release. Visit our prayer link.

 We want to say a big thanks to all those who came out to Lake Winnebago. I am glad Chris and Grace were able to be there but bummed the whole family couldn't have come. I missed so many of my dear sweet friends and their kids. Thank everyone who made it out. We heard there was a huge turnout and we want to thank the Kansas City Star, Grandveiw Paper, Lee's Summit Journal and all the television stations who came.

                             Freezin For A Reason

 OUR ANNUAL FREEZIN FOR REASON THAT TAKES PLACE ON NEW YEARS DAY IS UPON US AND WITH NEW EXCITMENT!    Each year our family is blessed to continue to receive support from our hometown of Lake Winnebago Missouri and surrounding areas. This year we all hope to be able to attend and look forward to the Wizzard's Ski Club putting on such a fun event. Since our family left Missouri to seek better treatment for our kids, the lake has continued to show love and support for our family. They enter most often frigid January waters to bravely ski all for our family. We never expected such care would continue after we left and to this day, we remember the best times of our lives being spent in this communtiy and wish we could one day, return HOME! Our family, friends and church there, we still feel as part of us and have not since found such a loving place to be a part of. We are greatful for all those who pray and give to our family.

Our home church will hold a collection for our family in Mid January. This church and the prayers and love from so many who have never forgotten us has remained close to our hearts.

10K run- We looke forward to Monte Seabough and everyone else who this spring plan to run in a 10K to help our family.

This entire place is home to Chris and I and our families. Chris and I attended kinder-garden with Mrs. Neely and Christy, my good friend and I all were in here class for two years! She was wonderful and has since passed but we visted her many times growing up. We also both have so many friends who grew up with us and we still are fortunate enough to have those childhood friends, they really know you and if your lucky enough to still have them, they have accepted you just the way you are, Karrie, Shanon, Kathy and many others in Junior high and SR. High. Our wish is to return home and back to Lake Winnebago and Abundant Life and work hard to give back all they have done for us. We will never come close of course but we want to go home. We are following God's Will and we trust He will lead us where He wants us. Still, this will always be home to us.

 If you would like to donate towards research of the disease, we suggest that you contact the Shwachman Diamond Syndrome Foundation at shwachman-diamond.org

Our kids have an Immune disease too and Grace has a kidney disease. We believe they are all linked and oneday, if only in heaven, we will know. We can tell you this, money given is put into a trust and we are careful of every dime spent, knowing someone gave up their earnings for us. We answer to God and so do all those who give in any way to our family. May they all be blessed over and over again for the help they give.

 Watch this video, our family is in it. We are near our old barn, the horse Grace was given for A Wish that we no longer could afford, a picture of memories and I am in the cowboy hat. This is about our family, what we have lost, what we fight for everyday and why we stand up for Health Care. My children have no security of where we will live next month, no dreams of their own future, for they have seen their parents work so hard and we're losing this battle. All we can do is ask for prayer and for people not to see dividing lines, instead see the faces of these Americans who only want to have care. http://www.standupforhealthcare.org/page/speakout/contactcongress

  We became involved with Families USA (www.familiesusa.org. ) and have found they have resources for families like us. They have an entire list of Faith based support and we invite others to take a look. They stay on top of what Christians believe, including right to life. Below is the link to the Evengelical Faith based group. We are still researching any groups and trying to find some kind of help that is in line with our Christian values. http://www.nae.net/images/content/For_The_Health_Of_The_Nation.pdf

We most want to convey that this is our families webpage and we use it for His glory.  We have been thorugh some hardships, just as anyone and want to share this to allow others to pray and uplift our family and to give Him above all, the first place in our life.
