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,

Progress!

Catherine made some progress today. It might not seem like a big deal, but to us and to Catherine it is! Her physical therapist recommended that I take Catherine's socks off and bring her feet to her hands. She says it is very important developmentally that she know where her feet are. This will help her with rolling, crawling, and eventually walking. It's also good for gaining strength in her abdomen which is weak. So I have been doing this. I would bring her feet up and she would grab them but was not able to hold on to them very long and she would not bring them up herself.

But today, after I helped her play with her feet, she started bringing them up herself and holding on to them for awhile! She even tried to put them in her mouth, which I reminded her wasn't very ladylike.









Taking a break


On Thursday, Catherine will be 11 months old!

Baby tricks -- very good! Her eyes are looking better, too, I think. I can't remember if my Joshua's eyes looked better right away -- seems to me it might have taken a little while.
