“Our kids were supposed to have perfect parents. We were supposed to have perfect kids. We’re all plain out of luck.”

“Father, please let the Murphy family live lives soaked in prayer and centered in Jesus. Let us always keep in mind that we are flawed and allow us to laugh often and easily at ourselves and any creeping pretensions of ‘holiness’. Please help us to trust always in letting ourselves be loved by God as more important than loving God in some kind of mechanical way. Please help our family to never distort the face of a beautiful God.”
