Steven Curtis Chapman's Daughter Killed

This is not so much a story regarding Christianity, though certainly Chapman is a popular artist, as it is a cautionary tale for everyone. It is remarkable how many children are killed in their own driveways every year. In my own town, we've had at least two that I can think of just in the last few months.

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

What an awful, tragic story. Certainly the Chapman family should be in all our prayers as they try to find the strength to make it from one day to the next. Some tests and trials hardly seem possible to overcome, and some seem to never fully recover from the loss of a child. Further, imagine the pain the brother will have to live with for the rest of his life.
