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,

Here's a picture of Catherine sitting her Bumbo seat. Even though she can't sit up on her own, in this seat she can sit and play. She is SO close to rolling over from her back to her belly! She still likes to play with her feet and is getting much stronger in her trunk. She had a renal (kidney)untrasound and cystogram this week. This was to check on the fluid that's around her right kidney and to check on her kidney reflux (urine backs up into her kidney). The fluid remains about the same and the reflux has gotten a little better from stage 3 to stage 2. The doctor thinks that both of these conditions will resolve themselves as she gets older. She still needs to take antibiotics to prevent a UTI which could easily move into her kidneys and cause damage. There was also discovered a small kidney stone in her right kidney. The doctor thought that since she was probably on Lasix when she was hospitalized that this drug could have caused it. He is referring her to a nephrologist to check this out. It doesn't bother her. Otheriwse she is doing well and looking forward to her First Birthday! I can't believe how fast a year has passed! Thanks for your prayers, we continue to pray for you.

I'm writing to you because you've participated in the now-defunct Catholic Carnival. I'd be interested in continuing it, but as a meme, not a carnival. Rather than submitting a post to a carnival host, who would compile them and publish them, I propose to publish weekly, on my blog, a post titled St. Blog's Sunday Snippets highlighting any posts I would have submitted to the Catholic Carnival and inviting others to create similar posts on thier blogs, link to my post and leave a comment on my post giving a link to your post. If it isn't clear what I mean, check out my blog and look for the Mailbox Monday posts. My post is on my blog, and you'll see a link to the host blog. On the host blog, you'll see the master post, and all the links folks have left in the comments.

This is a lot less work than a carnival and would allow you to use your Sunday Snippets post to highlight and link to one or more of your posts and to any great links you have found that week.

I have set up a yahoo group from which I will post weekly reminders. Please subscribe if you are interested. Thanks. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sunday_snippets
