What sign can you do?

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. Wisely, Jesus is using their bellies to get to their hearts; He is using earthly things to move them,

"I'm getting my rest right now...



because I know it will be a lot harder this weekend trying to sleep with all those brothers around!"

Thank you everyone for all your prayers! I spoke to one of the doctors this morning and she said if all continues to go well, Catherine will come home Friday or Saturday! Of course we can't tell you how thrilled, happy, excited, and scared we are! God is so good to us. He is so good to give us a daughter that is such a fighter and friends, family, and strangers who have prayed and sacrificed for us. Please continue your prayers for her and for us as we cautiously await this weekend! You all remain in our prayers.
