Steven Curtis Chapman

As I'm sure everyone knows, Steven Curtis Chapman's daughter was struck by a car driven by her older brother and killed in May. I read the basics in the news, mostly just the headlines, at the time. Sometimes, I am on so much emotional overload that I simply cannot read details about things like this tragedy.

Tonight, a friend posted a youtube video on Facebook. The video was SCC and his wife's interview with Larry King. I am in the middle of it, and keep having to take breaks. It is just so...heartbreaking. And amazing. And inspiring. I simply cannot fathom enduring a tragedy such as this one. My oldest daughter, Kiandra, is five. To think of life without her is--well, I really can't even think about it. I only hope that if I ever have to go through such an awful thing, that I can make it through. The Chapman family continues to be in my prayers, as I'm sure they still deal with this daily; even hourly.

So I was thinking...

Perhaps I shouldn't be doing that!

I thought it would be fun to have a blog that's just for me. A place for me to write my thoughts and feelings--a place different from my "family blog" (which I don't keep up very well at all). Sometimes I may write about the craziness of my life, maybe my thoughts on a political issues, or just random thoughts I have.

So, join me for the ride. I look forward to writing and sharing my thoughts!
