Amish Peace

"If you sense your faith is unraveling, go back to where you dropped the thread of obedience."
-Amish Proverb

Jill and I have been reading through this book called Amish Peace. It is like devotions and short stories about the Amish.  Very interesting stuff.  Each day it opens with an Amish Proverb and I have really enjoyed these.

Easter good times

Our family reunion was great. I am so grateful to my parents for making this happen. We enjoyed visiting with everyone. I forget how blessed I am and how wonderful and supportive of a family I have. Thank you and Happy Easter.

Classic Murphy kid videos are back

I received a message from Google video that they were no longer going to host our videos anymore (maybe I should have used YouTube), but this sparked a moment of revisiting and reuploading some of those "classic" videos. What can be more fun, kids with lazers, portals, magic potatoes, and more....
Watch them here

Go Fly a Kite!

The kids and I built a kite today.
http://www.my-best-kite.com/make-a-sled-kite.html

I don't have any pictures, but it worked!  It was awesome. However once we got it up REALLY high, the wind started gusting and the plastic (I used cheap plastic drop cloth material) started tearing.  It was a perfect first run, however.

There may be more prototypes in the near future.  Stay tuned.
