"Membership in the family of God is neither inconsequential or something to be casually ignored. The church is God's agenda for the world. Jesus said, "I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The church is indestructable and will exist for eternity. It will outlive this universe, and so will your role in it."

Elisabeth Elliot once said that people have come to her saying how they can't imagine how she survived, but she said that's because they always imagine the tragedy without the grace. God is gracious. But I'm still crying for them.

Simply awful.
My novel in progress is about the torment a father feels after accidentally backing over his six-year-old son in the driveway after a fight with his wife. I chose that direction because I couldn't think of any worse burden to place on a person.
To see it play out in the life of such a wonderful family as the Chapmans is just heartbreaking.

Every parent's nightmare.
Dear Lord, may you bring grace and comfort and forgiveness to an absolutely unfathomable grief-filled situation.
