Tragedy

Many of you know who Christian musician Steven Curtis Chapman is because he has been one of the more recognizable names in the music industry for almost two decades. For all his number one songs and all his Grammy awards I'm guessing the thing he'd tell you he is most proud of is he and his wifes opportunity to travel to China several times to work with orphans and adopt three children. Steven and his wife have three children and have adopted three children from China because they really have a passion for helping kids. Yesterday tragedy struck when their teenage son backed out of the driveway of their house while the family was playing outside and didn't see his 5 year old sister. Sadly, he backed over his little sister they had adopted from China and she was killed. As I'm sure you can imagine the family is devastated and in need of a lot of prayer. Events like this really make us once again face the fact we aren't promised another minute and to treasure this life God has given us and live it for Him.

Another note of tragedy I read today China is saying there is over 4,000 new orphans because of the earth quake. So many child without parents in a country that is so far from God.

Pray...pray...pray
