I, too, was very sadden & heartsick over the news of the loss of his precious little daughter MariaSue when I read about it on Wednesday evening. I agree, Monica, we DEFINITELY need to be praying for his son as well since he will most likely bear the horrible guilt of this accident in the days, weeks, & months ahead.
I don't know about you, but I've been soooo ministered to by SCC's music over the years. (Btw, have you seen SCC's newest song "
Cinderella"? It moved me to tears when I first heard it & still does just about every time I hear it on the radio.) He truly has a genuine heart for the Lord as it comes across both in his music & in his outlook on life, especially toward the orphan & adoption worldwide, but especially those from China from whom his last 3 daughters were adopted. From the videos SCC has up on his blog MariaSue was a precious precious little girl. And now she has gone home to be with Jesus.
Speaking of which, here's a touching article which includes vids of him & his daughter doing dishes together from his blog:
Such a sweet child & a loving father.....
I will continue praying for his entire family as they have a long hard road ahead of them.
"Mourning may last for the night but JOY will come in the morning."
"He will give beauty for ashes, the oil of joy & gladness for mourning, & the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness."
