Our hearts sank this morning when we learned of the terrible tragedy of the accidental death of Maria Chapman, Steven Curtis Chapman's five-year-old adopted daughter from China. Having a good friend of ours, Nick Lyndon, at his adoption agency, Shoahannah's Hope, as well as having heard him speak...
I was sad to hear the news today of SCC's youngest daughter. I can't imaging what that family is going through right now - keep them in your prayers. Yesterday was also 8 years since Jenn and Jaime lost their parents in a car accident - love you girls.
More sad news in the community of Christian music. On the heels of the recent Steven Curtis Chapman tragedy, Nicol Sponberg's (from Selah) 10 week old son died in his sleep last night. Nicol's brother's infant daughter also died a few short hours after birth about 7 weeks ago. It makes me sick to my...
Over the past 4 weeks, I've been wrestling a lot with God over some issues that I am not at liberty to discuss here yet. Suffice to say, this morning I realized that my struggle hasn't so much been about the uncertainties I've been facing, but about how much I trust God! I was reading in Luke 8 this...
Designed By God>>>more devotion from rbc ministries When reading this devotion and the bible verses this truly spoke to my heart because sometimes I lose focus of my gift that God wants me to utilize. Sometimes I take my eyes off of what God wants me to do and I need to be guided by the "Shepard's...
From the Associated Press: The 5-year-old daughter of Grammy-winning Christian music star Steven Curtis Chapman was struck and killed Wednesday by a sport utility vehicle driven by her brother, authorities said.

[Listening to: Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree - MercyMe - The Christmas Sessions (02:32)] With the impending move hanging over my head, it's been very difficult to get into the Christmas Spirit. That's made me somewhat angry because I love Christmas so much. I mean come on, I even had a Christmas...
This makes me so heart sick! What a tragedy. Remember this family in prayer... clipped from www.foxnews.com Christian Star's Daughter Killed Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter, 5, killed after being struck by SUV driven by her teen brother at family's Tennessee home
I've spent the majority of the evening doing a little cleanup on my computer. I would have like to do a little writing, but this things has gotten so slowly, that I know it needs some unnecessary stuff removed, a system scan, and probably to be defragmented tonight. I almost want Bart to reformat it...
Steven Curtis Chapman, Christian singer/songwriter, and family have lost their beautiful baby girl, Maria. A tragic accident on Wednesday killed little Maria. Their 17 year old son was backing out of the driveway and didn't see 5 yr old Maria. Many members of the family witnessed it. If you are a...
The first time I heard Steven Curtis Chapman's lyrics to his song, "With Hope," I was at the funeral of my son's 11-year-old friend who died suddenly in an ATV accident. I don't remember who I was sitting with, what the pastor said or which Bible verses were read, but I will never forget being blown...
Trust me, it's not like Spring Fever. Well, actually for me it is. In Spring and Fall I usually come down with some sort of sinusitus thus preventing me from enjoying the spendid weather as I should. Oh well, I've had time to post new chapters to "Comfort and Joy." They've only not made sense in a...
They matter so much – to me. (Be faithful in the little things so that He will entrust you with the bigger things.) “On a personal note, I would like to thank my parents and my partner Lin Yiquan [Lucas] for all they have done for me, for their love and support that has kept me grounded and...
Yesterday, as I watched the morning news, I heard an expression that offended me somewhat. As we all know, the previous holiday season was beleaguered with the controversy of whether or not one should say and post Merry Christmas. Yesterday, I heard several times, "Happy Martin Luther King JR Day."...
I am truly mortified at the discovery that we have a mouse inside our home. I suppose that it has come in to get away from the cold weather that has just decided to grace us again. I don't really care what it's doing here, but I intend to purchase some traps to rid ourselves of it tomorrow. I was...
If you want some Christmas music and don't know what to buy, purchase "All I Really Want For Christmas" by Steven Curtis Chapman and "The Christms Sessions" by MercyMe. They're wonderful.
Last night for probably the first time in a decade or so, I watched A Charlie Brown Christmas, and I think that I appreciated it so much more so than I did as a child. As an adult, I can readily understand Charlie Brown's search for the true meaning of Christmas. We often store a lot of hope into...

Yesterday was Children's Day at church and the kids got to lead us in worship. They did a great job! Afterwards, Desiree told me she was a little upset because they did not sing the songs she wanted to sing. We got Christopher's school picture last week...

If in the morning when you wake If the sun does not appear I will be here If in the dark we lose sight of love Hold my hand and have no fear I will be here. I will be here When you feel like being quiet When you need to speak your mind I will listen Through the winning, losing, and trying we’ll be...
