Tragedy in Life

Many of you are aware of the tragedy that has struck the family of Stephen Curtis Chapman.

Let's Pray for Steven Curtis Chapman and Family
Many of you, like me, have been blessed by the music of the Grammy and Dove award winning musician, Steven Curtis Chapman. Yesterday afternoon, tragedy struck his family. His youngest daughter, 5 year old Maria Sue, was struck and killed in the family's driveway by a vehicle driven by one of her older brothers. The police are referring to the incident as a "tragic accident." Somehow, those words seem woefully inadequate. As a father, I cannot even begin to imagine the pain Steven, his wife Beth and the rest of the family are experiencing right now. But I am glad to know that the One who knows exactly how they are feeling is there alongside of them right now, wrapping his arms of strength and comfort around them.

Our hearts are grieved along with this precious family. May the God of all comfort minister His comfort to them during these difficult days.
