Chapman Family Tragedy

On May 22nd, the family of Christian singer Steven Curtis Chapman suffered a terrible tragedy when their 5-year-old adopted daughter, Mary Sue, was killed. In one of those almost-too-sad-to-be-true stories, she was struck in the family's driveway by an SUV driven by her teenage brother.

This story has been heavy on my heart for almost two weeks now, and I've been wondering if I should post anything about it on the blog here, but I've been at a loss for words. This week I was reading my friend's blog, and his post included everything I was thinking and more, so I thought I'd provide a link for you.

I worked with Scott for 11 years in West Linn before I moved here to McMinnville, and he and his wife, Marcia, twice lost babies in the final month of pregnancy. He references their personal experience in his post, and I hope that if you have been touched by tragedy his thoughts will provide some hope and comfort.
