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,

She loves to eat!

Posted by on
It's been 4 weeks since we arrived in Seattle, 2 weeks since we've been home, and I know she'll never go back now. This girl asks to eat constantly. She's made a breakthrough this past weekend and will eat almost anything I offer her. I make a food record once a week to send to Karen, and I'll just post it here and let it speak for itself. She ate this yesterday:

1/2 slice of toast with butter
3 Tablespoons of scrambled eggs
taste of yogurt
4 jumbo raisins
1 cup of popcorn
2 blueberries
1.5 cups of puff corn
1/2 slice of bread with almond butter
1/3 of a banana
20 veggie straws
1/2 vienna sausage
5 bites of avocado
2 bites of grilled cheese sandwich
3/4 of a Nutragrain cereal bar
1 whole cheese stick!
5 pieces of canned peach
11 bunny grahams

She gained 4 oz. from last week and now weighs 23# 13 oz. She is on one tube feed at bedtime and water boluses during the day.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for Catherine...she is doing great!
