Pray for Steven Curtis Chapman

Please be praying for Steven and his wife Mary Beth and family...this morning it was announced on WCRF that his 5 year old daughter Maria died yesterday as a result of an accident. It appears that one of the teenage sons may have struck her with the car in the driveway...so be praying for the whole family during this crisis!! Also, be sure and give your spouse and kids a hug and kiss as soon as you can. It is a reminder to us that our lives are but a vapor, that appear for a little time and then vanish away...and that every day we have is a precious gift from God and another opportunity for us to "love God" and "love each other" with a Christ-like love!!

Below is the announcement on Steven Curtis Chapman's website:
