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,

Catherine Update

Posted by on
It still amazes us to look at Catherine and watch her actually eat. After having five typical kids, eating was definitely something I took for granted.

She weighed the same this week, 23 lbs. 13 oz. so we are still keeping the one tube feed around for awhile longer. Yesterday we had a couple of firsts. She ate a whole piece of toast with butter and melted cheese, usually she eats just half. This morning she ate a whole piece of peanut butter toast. Yesterday she ate red beans and rice, and she let me spoon feed her most of it! I'm guessing she was feeling sorry for me trying to finger feed it, messy! Last week she started showing slightly more interest in the cup. She actually leaned forward, mouth open, and let me put it in her mouth, but no drinking yet. Slow steady progress.

Thanks for your continued prayers and support! We pray for all of you.

Clearly the tube weaning program was the right move. It will be great when she can just eat and no tubes. I guess eventually they'll remove the implant?
