A Sea Of Red

What a horrendous tragedy ... this family desperately needs our prayers right now. I can't imagine how I would handle something like this.

Daughter of Gospel Star Steven Curtis Chapman Hit, Killed by Car

Thursday, May 22, 2008




NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The 5-year-old daughter of contemporary Christian music star Steven Curtis Chapman was struck and killed Wednesday by a sport utility vehicle driven by her brother, authorities said.

The girl, Maria, was hit in a driveway on the family residence Wednesday afternoon by a Toyota Land Cruiser driven by her teenage brother, said Laura McPherson, a spokesman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol.

McPherson said no charges are expected.

"It looks like a tragic accident," she said.

She said several members of the Chapman family witnessed the accident, which happened in Williamson County just south of Nashville.

The brother apparently did not see the little girl, McPherson said. She did not have the name or exact age of the brother, only that he is an older teenager.

I can't even begin to imagine. Prayers for the family.

I don't think anyone can even begin to feel what this family is going through...all we can do is pray!

Man, why do bad things happen to great people...this is teen will never be the same...heck, the family for that matter

As an adoptive dad with two daughters from China, I can tell you the entire adoptive community has broken hearts today. The Chapman's are such inspirations.

Our prayers are with them today.
