I was thrilled to learn that Steven Curtis Chapman was going to have a concert in Portland on Sept 30. I have wanted to connect with him to let him know how important his lyrics from "With Hope" had been to me and to my family.
I do give him full credit for use of his lyrics, so I don't know if I legally needed his permission or not. But it was important to me. It was important to know that if I ever do compile the posts from this blog into a more formal format, I would have his permission to use Through the Cloud of Tears since for me this is the only possible working title.
I had a whole 30 seconds to talk to him. But in that short time I was able to VERY briefly tell him about reading his lyrics at Miranda's public memorial, finally finding my voice in this blog, and using his words as the title. He not only gave his permission, but his blessing also.
Thank you Steven Curtis Chapman for all you do to support adoption, for your songs and lyrics that have meant so much to so many, and finally, for your blessing in use of your lyrics.
