I don't blog terribly often anymore - as time fails to permit - however, I need to share what moves me. THIS definitely moved me.
I'm sure most everyone is familiar with the tragedy involving the loss of Steven Curtis Chapman's youngest adopted daughter back in May. The Chapman family has been interviewed by Larry King Live and Good Morning America. Take time to watch these interviews - especially the one with Larry King.....if it doesn't remind you of the hope we have in Christ, then your "wood is wet" so to speak. I sat in my office, moved nearly to tears by the pain that this family faces, but so terribly inspired to be more deliberate in my walk with God. The unity that they share is nearly palpable - even via video. I cry out to God that He would help me to exhibit such passion for Him, such dependence on Him throughout the ups and downs that life will bring.
If you actually do have time to watch the video(s) - follow it up with Larry King's comments. It reminds me of King Agrippa - being "almost persuaded." The faith of the Chapman's was not lost on him, however, he states that he cannot make this jump into "blind faith" personally. What a tragedy. To face such personal heartache without a hope.......what could possibly be worse?
