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,

Morning Hike

I hike 12 miles this morning from Ash Cave to Old Man's Cave and back again along the Buckeye Trail. Here are some pictures from the journey.

Fire Tower. They are currently replacing all of the steps. The view is incredible and I hope to post pictures from the top this fall.

One approach to Cedar Falls.

This mushroom was incredible. It was nearly 10 inches tall.

I am reading Tolkien right now so the face in this trunk really stood out to me. ;-)

This is the climb above the Lower Falls at Old Man's Cave. It is a steep sandstone step climb to the long tunnel to the top.

Still climbing....notice platform (r)...
