Journaltime

This is a place where a career, stay-at-home-work-at-home, former homeschooler, almost empty nester, rapidly passing through middle age, mom finds an outlet for the thousands of daily, unspoken words.

The Chapmans on Larry King

I just watched Steven Curtis Chapman and family do an hour-long interview with Larry King regarding the tragic death of their 5-year-old daughter.  They were very real, very honest and I think of tremendous comfort to the vast numbers of people and families who are currently suffering from some inexplicable tragedy.  Their testimony was clear - that even though they have no answers as to "why" and even though they have struggled with anger at God - and even though they are still coping one day at a time with each other's help and the help of counsellors, they still rest in the hope of eternal life and in the love of their heavenly Father.  

The Chapmans now have a brand new dimension to their ministry - one that can only come through suffering.
