The servant was paralysed and was in so much pain that his boss had decided to personally get help.

Some people almost seem to see Jesus as a good luck charm.  I grumbled about this to a friend but, as she said, at least people were there.

I must say, from what I can gather, it seems that Jesus has chosen quite an odd bunch. 

The Pharisees, especially, are looking for Jesus to do something wrong so that they can accuse him. 

What on earth is Jesus doing, choosing a tax collector as one of his disciples? 

My soul glorifies the Lord…

They were a bit later than most other people because they had stopped to pick up their friend on the way.  I mean, literally pick up – their friend was paralysed.

Jesus has more power than the devil. Sometimes it is good to remind ourselves of that.

She had never been more surprised in her life than when Jesus had arrived at her house! 

The man was yelling at Jesus, asking him what he wanted with them, and whether he had come to destroy them? 

Simon did as Jesus asked.  I think he was pretty doubtful about it, though.

Well, that was like a red rag to a bull!  Everyone was suddenly furious – who did Jesus think he was? 

Did you know that God is mindful of you?

I mean, I know he can do miracles, I’ve seen it myself, but heal someone?

I don’t think that will have done him any favours with the Pharisees…

Yes, you did read that correctly and I did double check that I’d heard it right! 

‘Join the club’, I thought…

So much for not keeping tabs on Jesus – I could not have missed him if I’d wanted to!

Jesus – my son – had turned water into wine! 

My soul glorifies the Lord…..
