If any of you actually new the mutz/rainey family, you would understand that what happened to Jake and Rebecca was totally deserved. They should not be allowed to call themselves Christians, with the things that Jake has done to others that have totally ruined lives. The lives of good, decent hardworking people have been crushed by the selfishness that encompasses Jake. He is truly an evil man who deserves nothing but the hell he has received. The Lord punishes in many ways, and I think that loses both babies is a testament to what comes around, goes around. May he suffer all of his days on earth, as well as wherever he goes in the afterlife. He deserves nothing better than that.

I know your feelings and pain as I to lost a child (Roger III) this past December 19, 2008. That day has changed my life for ever but also it brought me closer to God than I ever been in my life. Your story touched me in so many ways only a parent that has lost a child could feel. I tried to listen to all five sessions but some were to painful for me to hear. I come to understand that God work in his own pace and will and the results are great. I will always keep you all in my prayers until the day I take my last breath and all the parents that has lost a child for there is no better person to give all your worries to our all mighty "GOD".
God Bless

I was drawn to your families story not by personal experience of my own child but as a Labor & Delivery RN. Unfortunately Rebecca & Jake's ordeal is more common then people know. God has given me the priviledge of being a part of one of his greatest miracles..LIFE..but at the same time it is an honor & privilege to be with someone in their dying. It was amazing to hear how a family of faith worked through this experience together. I can't even begin to say how the story of Mighty Molly affected me & how when I hear certain songs I will always remember her short life. I think that's what every parent wants...to know that this little life affected so many others in countless ways & that they will never be forgotten (similar to 99 balloons story). These lives will not be forgotten. Please pass on my thanks to the family.

My girlfriend lost 2 baby boys & her uterus (ruptured) with the 2nd boy. She now has a healthy adopted little girl. I lost my baby boy an hour after he was born. I now have 2 healthy children (6 & 3) I pray Rebecca will have a heathly baby soon! Thank you Jesus for life & death. We need them both to grow closer to you. Melissa

I had just learned of the miscarriage of my son and daughter in law's baby when I tuned to the radio in my car. when I got home I went online and listened to the rest of the week. Thank you for sharing your story of Mighty Molly with us. I know the situation is different but I believe the pain of losing a grandchild hurts the same and I am glad God had this playing on the radio when I needed to hear it. I have ordered the books and CD with hopes that I can share it with my son and daughter in law. God always has a plan and a purpose and even though we may not understand I can still say God is good and merciful. Thank you

My heart broke as I listened and it has been such a strong message maybe the strongest I have ever heard and sat through. I see how God shows his love and has shown what "Family" looks like when it's done his way.

Thank you for sharing your life with us. May GOD'S Blessings continue to be poured over both families.

Thank You.

By chance I was able to listen to the last part of your program this week on my way home from our small group bible study. It reminded me of the heart wrenching pain of lossing my own 19 month old baby Aliyah 3 years ago from brain cancer. She was diagnosed with cancer at 6 months and had 2 brain surgeries to remove the tumor. Jesus finally took her home at 19 months and ease her suffering. Now she is happy and well at the arms of her perfect father. I totally relate to the Mutz with what they are going through. Lossing a baby is very painful but my assurance is this: someday my baby and I will see each other face to face and I'll be able to hold and kiss her once more.

"We cannot, Lord, Thy purpose see;

But all is well that's done by Thee."

(and from the book of Puritan prayers)

"Thou hast brought me to the valley of vision where I live in the depths, but see Thee
in the heights. Let me learn that the valley is the place of vision.
Lord, in the daytime, stars can be seen from the deepest wells, and the deeper the well, the brighter Thy stars shine. Let me find Thy light in my darkness.
Let me find Thy light in my darkness, Thy life in my death, Thy joy in my sorrow,
Thy grace in my sin, Thy riches in my poverty, and Thy glory in my valley."

My heart aches with deep sorrow for Rebecca and Jake, to loose one child is heartwrenching, to hear of the second loss. . . no words except deep groans of sorrow, and I am reminded of Romans 8:18-28. What precious promises. . . My husband and I have listened all week. We lost our first child to miscarriage and join in your grief with our tears, and yet we trust our Saviour and the God of all comfort to bring continued healing and comfort in the days ahead. Thank you for being so openly transparent with us. I've been touched deeply.
