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,

New Bunk Beds for the Boys - 2

Sorry for the delay but here you will find the mostly finished bunk beds we were working on in April and into May.  The boys are always helpful when I start a project like this and I am sincerely grateful for that.  I'm planning on offering a PDF download of the plans in the near future if you'd like to make something similar.

A, proud of his work.

W working on filling in his storage area.

The platform of each bed is hinged.  Lifting the bed and platform reveals a nice storage area for clothes and "junk".

Almost complete.  Put the smallest boy on top, he won't hit as hard.

S contemplating life as the sunrises.

Finished beds on the right.

The bunk beds aren't perfect but they suit us very well.  They give each boy their own bed with ample storage space for all of their treasures.  The next step will be installing shelves and reading lights for each bed.  Thanks for reading!
