These wedge-shaped signs are much harder to carve into clay that one would think, especially if you want them to be legible. The secret message that Jacob chiseled into this ancient stone?

My goodness, Jacob looks so much older in this picture. I guess I haven't seen him much lately. I wish he was in 2nd Sunday School then I would be his teacher!
