World on a String

For awhile now, Steve has been trying to think of a post to describe how much we see Ian's personality. I think this will sum it up quite perfectly. I don't know if you can see since it's pretty dark, but he's mouthing all of the words.

I only know Ian through the internet...and pray for him! But this was soooo encouraging! Thank you for sharing that with those of us who never met Ian.

Love you

Ian, I especially liked the "Sinatra-esque" eyebrow move at :28. Pure genius.

I knew your family from working at The Children's Institute... it is absolutely amazing to see how far Ian has come! I can still remember my heartache walking past Ian & Larissa in the lobby looking at the snow and Ian being so sick... or seeing them do laps around the hospital. I continue to pray for you all! Keep the updated posts coming - it's a joy to read about how far Ian has come!

This was GREAT!!! I wouldn't have taken Ian for a Sinatra fan -- I can definitely see the interaction and his understanding of the music's timing - both great praises!!!

This post was great. . . I too have never met Ian so it was so great to see this glimpse into his personality - my daughter had a class with him at IUP and told me about this site.

No doubt in my mind that GOD is bringing Ian back, bit by bit. . .

I look forward to the day GOD totally restores his speech and I can hear Ian talk and hopefully meet him in person!

Nothing is impossible for the mighty GOD we serve.

This post made me both laugh and cry!! I cried because I'm so grateful to the Lord for the progress Ian has made and I laughed because of Larissa. It was so good to hear your laughter. I continue to pray for Ian and thank the Lord for what He has done. Pat McCombie

Ian, I'm definitely impressed! I really like the classic cigar allusion. Great "string around your finger" movement too.

PS: Thanks, Larissa, for sharing this with me. You're both in my prayers.

Praise You Lord for Your unfailing love and kindness! This is so wonderful. What a blessing! I am constantly overwhelmed by the Lord's presence every time I see how far Ian has come. It is such a picture of the impossible made possible by a loving Creator/Father/Savior/Redeemer. He made the impossible, possible when He saved us and He just continues to show this so tangibly through Ian's healing. What an awesome God! Thank you, Jesus!
