I think John 2 also says a lot in general about finsihing well. I have also related that to our teens - good points! Grant,

Jesus could create wine out of nothing, but instead, He chose to involve people up and until the only way to go forward was the miraculous.

Look at verse 10. Doesn't this imply the guests had already had enough? Yet Jesus then brought out huge quantities of the good stuff. So why do we condemn that which Jesus blessed?

Prepare to be reminded (again) of the miraculous results that come when we obey God. Besides that, you just gotta love a guy that blogs about Dell customer service, bass-fishing, Harry Potter, the NFL draft, and Jesus all on the same blog. A must-read. Even if you could care LESS about sports. (sorry, Grant.) [...] [...] “the G sides” has some great insights on John 2 this week.
