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,

Child Labor


Did you know that my baby is almost 8? Well he is and he can cook Ramen noodles all by himself (with adult supervision). Here he is with his 6 year old brother, showing him the ropes.


"Women like it when you can cook, you know."




These come in real handy when you want to, you know, stir stuff.


"Do you know this stuff is just full of MSG and artificial preservatives?"

"What else can we throw in there?"





"When is this going to boil, anyway?"




"First thing Mom taught me - a watched pot never boils"





Let me just say that I am very proud of my two chefs, they did a great job. Pretty soon I won't have to do any cooking!
