Steven Curtis Chapman's personal blog. Okay, I’m gonna say this right off the bat…I’m gonna fail at this blogging thing. I'm told this is to be Short-n-sweet entries that don’t try to go too deep or try to communitcate too much information. To which I say, “yeah, right!” You see, I don’t do “short-n-sweet”, “not too deep” is not a concept I grasp and “too much information” is my middle name. With all that said, I’m gonna attempt this business of blogging and see what happen.
Happy Birthday, my friend. You have my prayers and support always.

Happy Birthday, Steven! You are a true man of God! I have been touched and encouraged by the lyrics of so many of your songs. The Good Lord blessed you with such a gift and I am so thankful that you have acted in obedience to fulfill that gift! God bless you and your family as you celebrate another year on this earth. I pray that this upcoming year gets a little "easier" since the passing of Maria :-) You are a wonderful husband and father and the Lord will bless you for your faithfulness!
In Him,

Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
I hope you killed a pheasant......
Happy Birthday to you!
Seriously, I hope you had a relaxing, rewarding time!
On a different note, we are looking at moving across the country (military fun) and my eight year old is so excited about the trip. She has the atlas out and had me mark the route, etc. You know the first thing she said she wants to do? She wants us to stop in TN and go to your church so she can meet Shaohannah. The funny thing is, she's terribly quiet, so even if we do it, she might not introduce herself. Mark my words, I have the next Emily Chapman in my house! The child has a serious heart for orphans and is a prayer warrior for your family;
We pray on in Virginia!

Happy Birthday!! I couldn't get to the computer yesterday--sorry I'm a day late. It was such a blessing to see you and MWS in St Augustine. We have seen you both in concert before, and it was an AWESOME time of worship with the two of you together! Thank you for your example to this world, and for living your faith out loud! :)

Have a super birthday, Steven! I hit the big 40 this year and the highlight of my year was meeting you in March and seeing you (with MWS) in October...both in Cincinnati.
You are loved! Hope you feel it. Take your Harley out for a spin today. Enjoy!
