Sympathy for the Chapmans
The accidental death of Steven Curtis Chapman’s daughter yesterday is a terrible tragedy. I can only imagine how the family must feel today, and my heart goes out to all of them. I’m especially sad for the older sibling who was behind the wheel. We all make mistakes, and we are fortunate that so few of them have such enormous consequences. I hope this young man will have lots of support from family and friends and will be able to forgive himself for what has happened.
Many years ago, I worked for the record company that produces Chapman’s albums. I don’t consider myself an ardent fan of Christian music, though there are a few artists in the genre whose music I enjoy. Without exception, I have always heard that Chapman is a kind, sincere and dedicated person. I hate to see this kind of awful thing happen to anyone, and especially to someone who has done so much for so many.
