I read late last night that one of Steven Curtis Chapman‘s daughters was killed yesterday. Little 5-year old Maria was hit by a family car driven by one of her older brothers.
Steven Curtis Chapman has probably been the single largest influence on me in the Christian music genre. An absolutely amazing songwriter, singer and guitar player, his lyrics and songs touch my heart more than those of any other. And now he and his wife, Mary Beth, are coping with one of the most difficult pains a parent can have.
The gut-wrenching coincidence in this is that his big hit right now is a song called Cinderella, a song about a daddy dancing with his princess daughter from childhood through her wedding. I even posted about this song in October as it brought out some pretty strong emotions for me in listening to it. And now the Chapman family has this tragedy.
Whether prayer is something divine or as Jennifer says, may be more for us than for God, right now would be a terrific time to pray for comfort and healing for the Chapmans.
