Letters to the Editor

To Soar Like Eagles

Hi. My name is Helena Wisby. I'm from the Tasmanian congregation in Australia.

I just wanted to say how much I loved reading this article. Very inspiring and put in such a wonderful way. May God bless you and inspire you further to write such powerful messages as this.

Deciphering the Rosetta Stone

Not to be picky or anything, but according to the Wikipedia entry in regards to the Rosetta Stone, it was realised very quickly the value of the stone in regards to the fact that Egyptian hieroglyphics could be deciphered, and much of the work was carried out in the first few decades after its discovery. The translation was more or less complete by 1822.

Also, it's very hard to fathom why one soldier would keep the stone; it weighed about 760 kg and therefore would have taken several men (minimum) to move it. For a soldier on the move, to keep this stone would have been impossible.

Thank you for your research and added information about the Rosetta stone. We will correct the information about the dates on the Web site. You are right in the "hard to fathom" comment as to why or even how a soldier could keep a stone that weighs almost a ton. Thank you once again for reading the article and for your comments.

Sauerkraut -- More Than Cabbage

Terrific parallel to the Christian walk. An awesome challenge. I would sure like a complete recipe on how to make sauerkraut. I've never done it before.
