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,

Catherine's First Swim

Tired of wasting money on the little blow-up kiddie pools we decided to invest in an above ground pool. It took a little work and a lot of money (for us) but the pool is now up and being enjoyed .... a lot. I hope to build the deck this week around a quarter of the pool and get rid of the step ladder on the outside of the pool. Anyway here are pictures from Catherine's first time in the pool. She loved it.


We're having daily swimming lessons since the boys either can't swim or aren't yet strong swimmers. They have to wear life vests when they are getting individual attention. The pool is 48" deep and 18' diameter.



Catherine floating in her tug boat.



Needless to say, the boys love it too.


Catherine and mom having a good time!

Time to get out, dry off and warm up.

Where's Daniel during all of this? Oh yeah, dad's watching him...... and things are not going too well as you can see by his little expression.....

Thanks so much for letting Parker swim with the boys yesterday! He had a blast! Just this year he has become comfortable with the water. Glad the kids are enjoying it!
