I found the story on a website and haven't done any other research on it. As to your question, "I wonder if anyone's government would spend so much for so few these days?" I suspect not!Jeff Bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851404940918850330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-415462951121361307.post-33597474329017424212011-04-14T17:19:13.132-05:002011-04-14T17:19:13.132-05:00I look forward to hearing the sermon Sunday. I don...I look forward to hearing the sermon Sunday. I don't remember ever hearing a sermon on that passage.<br />But about the Queen Victoria rescue story -- don't leave us hanging! How long did the rescue take? How many lives were lost? How many died along the way before ever reaching the prisoners? How much money per rescued person did Q. Victoria spend? Was Emperor Theodore III killed? Why is this story not in the history books? Or maybe I slept through history class the day it was discussed. Reckon anyone's government would spend so much for so few these days? I wonder how many actually thanked Q. Victoria for her efforts. My curiosity is piqued about this incident/battle. Guess I'll have to do a little research. Thanks for keeping us on our toes to learn more. <br />The depth of Christ's sacrifice and focus to rescue us (me!) is mind-boggling by comparison. And my record of giving Him thanks is abysmal to say the least. It's so easy to fall into taking every day for granted instead of seeing it for the gift it truly is. God help us all to see what Christ spent for our lives. <br />Thanks for the insight, Jeff.<br />Mona FollisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738757441234087787noreply@blogger.com
