Sent back from Maria's Big House of Hope in China, Steven announces some of the details of his new project first to you! his video blog friends. BEAUTY WILL RISE is available November 3rd.
He and Mary Beth wanted to invite you to join the team on the trip to China... well, virtually at least. Here's a link to the blog of a photographer there with them as they open up a special needs orphans facility, Maria's Big House of Hope.
A few days ago Steven Curtis Chapman had the opportunity to visit the Bethesda Naval Medical Center, a guest of the President's physician. It's become a given on Steven's schedule over the last 8 years plus. If he has a tour date in the DC area, you'll find him spending the morning and afternoon at Bethesda. He's been fortunate to have the chance to meet brave men and women military service personnel there, both the wounded and the medical staff.
Two Fridays ago Steven met Corpsman Thomas McBride. He had been wounded in action in Afghanistan and tragically had lost part of his leg. Steven was deeply moved by this man and the sacrifice he had made for this country. In response and with gratitude to Corpsman McBride and all who have served America, Steven penned a new song, "Thomas McBride." It's Steven's great privilege, that this song was delivered this week to Corspman McBride by the President of the United States, George W Bush.
On this week that marks Veterans Day 2008, we pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of the men and women who in defense of our freedom have bravely worn the uniform of the United States. To mark the week, Steven is making available, via streaming audio, this simple demo he recorded of the new song.

I'm back... or at least I am on the journey back. This is my first video blog post in several months....but the first of many to come. Thanks for your patience!
Steven and family are back from vacation and settling in with some yummy chocolate chip pancakes...and now it is time to clean up! So, not only time for dishes...but the dishwashing song! Make sure to watch to the very end for "How not to dive into a pool" segment
