Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from The Murphy Family! Read Luke 2:1-19, the Christmas story.

Hip Hop Seniors

A friend of mine forwarded me this video from a post he saw on Lanny Donoho's blog.

As I watched, I thought, "Are you kidding me?!" (Among some side splitting laughter, I might add.)

Here's the scoop. The side note on this clip said this video was put together by a student ministry of a traditional church for their fall student retreat. They got their Senior Adult Choir involved to use this video as an object lesson about media choices (kinda creepy hearing your grandparents sing some of this). The result was a trans-generational experiment that bridged the gap between students and seniors... with lots of laughter, for sure. Point made.

Custom Tree Swing

Hey... thought this might stir the creativity and give you some ideas on how to use that old love seat you've got stored in your basement (or, that is sitting on your front porch). Special Thanks to Jeff Cole (Tennessee fan, no doubt) for this inspiring act of innovation.

My Nativity Jesus Looks Like Quasi Modo

I am convinced that the infant model that was used by the artist to design the Baby Jesus in my ceramic Nativity grew up to star in Disney's "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."  Check out the size of this baby's head! It creeps me out.

Solution for Holiday Stress?

What is the message here? Stuffing your face with grease-fried chicken fries trumps any stress relief that exercise brings. I about passed out when I read this on the box... while I consumed these tasty little fries. :)
