Last night, I heard the news that Maria Chapman, the 5 year old daughter of Steven Curtis Chapman had died in an accident.  My initial impact, of course was sadness for their family, but I must confess, that I rather quickly went back to my life.

Today, however, the reality of this has sunken in a bit more as I have read the blogs and news stories.  Steven is, in many ways, the most successful Christian artist of all time and his music and ministry have blessed so many around the world.  Now, he and his family are grieving. 

There is a blog you can check out to leave condolances and see video of Maria.  We recently finished a series here at Clovis Hills called Disapointed with God and I can’t help but think that the Chapman’s must be there right now.  Please pray for them, that not only would they be able to grieve and process all of this, but that in the midst of this terrible situation, that they would see the face of God all the more.
