The First
Miracle
Wedding in
Cana
On the
third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was
there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the
wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus
said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet
come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now
standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification,
each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with
water.” And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, “Now draw some
out, and take it to the chief steward.” So they took it. When the steward
tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from
(though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the
bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the
inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good
wine until now.” Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee,
and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

We spent a
week in Springfield, Missouri, visiting Vicki’s sister and family.
We had
plenty of room in Abbi’s suite at the Missouri State vs. Creighton game.
It has been
a loooooooooong time since I have been to a basketball game and it was fun!

Chance found
something yummy to eat at the game.
On Saturday,
Chance wore Vicki’s leggings and
helped all
of us cheer for the Broncos.
Alas.
We had
brunch at Hemmingway’s in the Bass Pro Shops.
Springfield
is the original home of Bass Pro.

Chance and
my great-nephew, Will Alexander,
have a great
deal in common (especially their energy level).
Let’s hope
they never get together!!!
