We just learned today of the accidental death of 5 yr old Maria Chapman who is the adopted daughter of Steven Curtis and Mary Beth Chapman. It has been hard to imagine what their family is going through. I have been taking time to give extra hugs and kisses to Hope this afternoon because I can't imagine life without her. Although we do not personally know the Chapmans, we understand the journey they went through to bring Maria into their home. I am thankful that Maria knew what it is to have a loving family and to hear about Jesus. Please remember the Chapman family in prayer. They are believers, but this has got to be a huge sorrow for them and they will need to uplifted in prayer for strength and comfort.
