Hey everybody, apparently we got a little ahead of ourselves when we posted our latest video to our new single “You Reign.” Our label asked us to wait until it actually went to radio, and then we could “release the hounds.”  In other words, do us a favor and call or go to your local Christian radio station’s website and start requesting to hear “You Reign.”  We would greatly appreciate it.  Because we should never forget that everytime MercyMe sings, an angel gets its wings…wait I don’t think that’s right…but let’s not take any chances.

Ok, and in the meantime, enjoy the video and thanks to all you goofballs out there that keep laughing at our blog.  If it were not for you…well…we would be blogging to people who don’t think we are very funny. And that’s not very fun at all.

So, I’ve been into astronomy for a couple of years now since moving to Texas and living in a town where there isn’t much light at night. I get to enjoy Gods handy work on a pretty regular basis.

MARIA SUE CHAPMAN, DAUGHTER OF STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN, DIES IN ACCIDENT AT FAMILY HOME

NASHVILLE, TN…5/21/08… At approximately 5pm on the afternoon of Wednesday May 21st, Maria Sue Chapman, 5 years old and the youngest daughter to Steven and Mary Beth Chapman was struck in the driveway of the Chapman home in Franklin, TN. Maria was rushed to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital in Nashville, transported by LifeFlight, but died of her injuries there. Maria is one of the close knit family’s six children and one of their three adopted daughters.

More than five years ago, Chapman and his wife MaryBeth founded The Shaohannah’s Hope Ministry after bringing their first adopted daughter, Shaohannah, home from China. The ministry’s goal is to help families reduce the financial barrier of adoption, and has provided grants to over 1700 families wishing to adopt orphans from around the world. Chapman is a five-time GRAMMY ® winner and 54-time Dove Award winning artist who has sold over 10 million albums and garnered 44 No. 1 singles.

The Chapman family is so grateful for the incredible outpouring of love and support at this difficult time.
