Just looking at the picture makes me want to weep. Reading the details make me feel worse. BUT I know that the Chapmans' sorrow is much greater. Lord, please comfort them and give them peace. Amen.
I met Mr. Chapman years ago. I will definetly keep him and his family in prayer.
Blessings.
Thank you so much for posting this. I had not yet heard this sad news...
omg..this is horrible. breaks my heart.
I am praying, breaks my heart to hear of this. I pray for God's comfort and peace during this trajic time.
oh sweet Jesus. Please be with them. Such a precious family- I'm heartsick- this is the first I've heard of this.
Oh no... I was just thinking about him & his family yesterday, and how inspirational they are. They will be in my prayers.
It's such a sad and tragic moment. My prayers and thoughts for the Chapman family.They shouldn't lose love and faith in the unfortunate teenaged driver. He needs support and understanding too.
There loss was huge and our thought's & prayers are with them. The son does need care and understanding...how awful he must feel!
I hadn't heard the news yet either. How horrible!
I just saw him in concert a week ago...praying for them!
I wrote something about it
that is so sad! I have always admired him.
This is so sad, I saw the family in GMC for the dove awards and was like why are they in Chinese cloths and saw the youngest and was like WOW how cool.
=(
I bet the brother must feel aweful...
I pray the Holy Spirit will convince the brother it was an accident and enable him to forgive himself. I know his parents will do everything they can to support him. But it will take a lot for him to forgive himself and embrace God's forgiveness.
That might be a large part of God's plan for this, to display the greatness of God's forgiveness.
I heard about it this morning...... My heart and prayers go out to the Chapman family. I even saw Steven Curtis Chapman last year at the Candlelight Processional.
Oh goodness, my heart goes out to Chapman's family and may she rest in peace.
