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

That One - Unbelievable

Posted by on
And this my friends is why we call this the "silly season" here in the United States. Does anyone really think this way? How can saying, "that one" be seen as having racial overtones? I must really live in a bubble in Mayberry because I couldn't have made this fit if my life depended on it. Maybe what they are really upset about is that McCain didn't say "The One" instead of saying "That one."

I really don't think anyone believes it is a racial slur but rather this is a last ditch effort to play the race card during this election.

Whoops, sorry! Did I say, "last ditch?" I apologize if I offended anyone. If you are a construction worker this was not meant to imply that you may be getting fired soon. If you are state highway worker, forgive me, I was not commenting on the state of the highways. And finally, if you are dead animal on the side of the road you have every right to make that your final resting place.

Oh great, now the hunters are offended that I said, "silly season." Look I am a gun owner and a hunter. NO! The "gun owner" thing wasn't a threat nor was it a reference to Obama's quote on clinging to guns, etc. What's that? PETA is here to talk about animals in ditches?
I have to get out of here......

Hi James,
I just found your blog and I love it! I am also a Central Ohio blogger (I go to St. Pius in Reynoldsburg) who has spent lots of time at Children's. Catherine is so adorable, and I know that she will be just fine. The doctors and nurses there are really amazing.
You have a beautiful family--keep up the great blogging!
