Hi Kathy! Hope all is well with you!
on the Ball Field and on the Battle Field.
Good evening, mom...
Except for the heat wave, all is well. How is your winter?
Read: Psalm 27:4-14
When the Polaroid SX-70 camera was introduced in 1972, it revolutionized photography. An article by Owen Edward in Smithsonian magazine described the camera as a miracle of physics, optics and electronics. When a photo was snapped, a blank square would emerge from the front of the camera and develop before our eyes. People were sold on speedy, immediate results.
Oswald Chambers saw a strong connection between our desire for the immediate and lust: Lust simply means, I must have this at once; it may be a bodily appetite or a spiritual possession. . . . I cannot wait for Gods time, God is too indifferent; that is the way lust works.
In Psalm 27, David wrote of his waiting on God during a time of great trouble when there was no solution in sight. Instead of giving in to despair, he maintained his confidence that he would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living (v.13).
We live in a world that worships the immediate. When it seems there is no sign of our deepest longings being fulfilled, the psalmist urges us to cling to the eternal God. Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord! (v.14).
LOL!! We are geared up for more snow and ice tonight. The darn kids won’t go to bed because they already canceled school. “But Mom.... there isn’t any school tonight and there’s this show that I want to watch....” Thus, I am freeping!
Please thank StarCMC for todays thread.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.
I know you are cold, but have you escaped more snow?
Kids! Enjoy FReeping.
Stay warm and safe.
Good evening, yarddog....with all those canoes, I wonder if the body of water was “attached” to a resort of some sort.
Thanks, Galz, for yet another wonderful American hero! So sad that he died before he could come home!
Man! They didn’t wear enough padding while playing hockey back then! LOL!
Yes it was and is a beach retreat. I have a lot of pictures of Lake Wannsee, mostly with soldiers sitting around in lounge chairs. One does show a soldier with his M1 garand standing guard at the end of a pier. He looks pretty relaxed tho. There is a sign placed on the beach saying the water is polluted probably as a result of the fierce combat around Berlin.
I did a google search for Lake Wannsee and there are a lot of pictures of it’s beach covered with hundreds of swimmers,sunbathers etc.
I also have pics of the building which still exists where the infamous Wannsee Conference was held.
