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,

Update

Catherine saw her GI doctor for the first time yesterday and he decided to switch the formula she was on and make her feed continuous at night. This formula, Peptamen, is broken down a little bit more than the Pediasure and hopefully it will empty her stomach quicker. Last night she was on the new formula and she threw up a few more times than usual...I will try again tonight, hopefully she is just getting used to it. Dr. C has a a few more tricks up his sleeve if this doesn't work until we might think about something more invasive (G-J tube, Niessen). Keep praying!
