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,

Post-op Report


Thank you for all your prayers, Catherine's surgery went well. It's hard to tell if it worked, her eyes are pretty puffy and red, but she feels fine! She was a little fussy yesterday but she slept most of the day anyway. This picture was taken a week or so ago.


Thanks, Mimi for the outfit!

I remembered Catherine in prayer yesterday and wondered how it had gone. My Joshua's eye were blood-red afterward, but did not seem to cause him pain (although they sure looked painful!). I hope the surgery worked for her (I wondered if she was with Dr. Rogers, Bremer or McGregor? Joshua still sees Dr. McGregor at age 17!).

Thanks for your prayers, Barb! She see Dr. Richard Simmons. I think he's been around awhile!

Oh my. I had no idea Dr. Simmons was still in practice. He did Joshua's surgery 15 years ago. We since switched to Dr. McGregor but I just assumed Dr. Simmons had retired!
