What sign can you do?

Posted by on
John 6:30-35 If I wasn't in the same boat as these sinners following Jesus I would probably be laughing right in their face. I often wonder how Jesus kept from rolling on the grass laughing at what some people do. Today we hear the crowd ask Him, "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do?..." Is this not the same crowd who in verse 2 we are told - "followed him, because they saw the signs he was performing on the sick ."? Are these not the same people who in verse 14 " when they saw the sign he had done, they said, "This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world."? Yet still they seek a sign. However, they are not seeking a sign so that they might believe, they are wanting to be fed. Jesus worked a "sign" with the loaves and the fishes and now they want Him to do it again.

Wild Raspberry Wheat Ale

Posted by on
This, my latest creation, has turned out far better than I expected. I put together an American Wheat Beer and then decided to add a little twist to it.


Early on a Saturday morning while the clan was still sleeping and the dew was still heavy I ventured out, bucket in hand, to capture as many of the black raspberries that grow wild on the property as I could. I ended up picking about 3-4 pounds of the sweet black beauties which I promptly cleaned and froze. When the wheat beer was just about finished fermenting I siphoned it into another glass carboy that I had put the berries in. I allowed the berries and beer to blend for a couple days and than siphoned the beer back into a clean carboy to clear.

During the final siphoning I tasted the nectar and wow was it good even flat without any carbonation. Below are pictures of the beer being moved to the bottling bucket and then bottled.















N.B. This is a clear bottle!
