Steven Curtis Chapman

I have always like Steven Curtis Chapman. Back in the early 90's when I decided on my own to delve further into my faith, I saw Steven in concert at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas. I remember that his words were very influential to me and he just shined with this perfect peace. I have always enjoyed his music as well.
It was with a heavy heart that I watched Larry King Live this week when the Chapman family was on to talk about their recent tragedy in losing their youngest daughter who was hit by her older brother in their driveway at their home.
Most people asked, why and how they could want or be ready to talk about this tragedy so soon. It only happened this past May. The Chapmans explained that they felt God wanted them to talk about it to show that bad things happen to good people and that God is able to heal even the worst pain. They were obviously still in the healing process but hearing them speak was very moving.
I remember Steven saying that as they drove away in the ambulance with their daughter and he saw his 17 year old son hunched on the ground, devastated, he said someone told him he shouted to his son, "Your Father loves you Will Franklin". He said he doesn't even remember saying it now.
Also, they found a drawing done by their daughter the morning she died. It was a six petal flower with only one of the petals colored inside and she wrote the word "see" on the paper. She had never written this word before. Steven said when they found the paper later, after what happened. As the days went on, they felt God was speaking through Maria. They have six kids with one in heaven. They are supposed to "see" the beauty in the ashes....
Wow...that's all I can say...
