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,

Shots (contains brief nudity)

It's the third day of Neupogen shots and I'm still feeling pretty good. I haven't experienced anything out of the ordinary yet. Here are pictures from my shots today. Nicole is my nurse and I trust her, really I do....

I apologize to all who take offense at my big belly. It is usually looking like the typical six-pack abs but I beefed-up for these shots...

You can see the worst part of the shots in the lower right corner - Nicole's COLD hands!!!

I think there's a needle on the end of that syringe...buried deep in fat.

Last one. I get two shots a day in the belly. I chose the belly so my arms wouldn't get sore and I could still make rosaries. Only one more day of shots and the donation will take place on Monday, Tuesday too if they need lots of cells. I'd like to thank my make-up artist for all of her work especially the removal of the belly-button lint for these photos.

I'll remember you at Mass tomorrow. You're a brave soul, James Hahn (Or maybe you cried like a baby, I don't know. Nicole?).

Barbara,
If I remember correctly, his exact words were, "What? I'm not crying! I have something in my eye". And it was when I touched him with my cold hands, not when he got the injection.
