| Mark Spitz' gold medals |

| Mark Spitz now |
I was looking at the news a little and a picture of Mark Spitz came up. Mrs. Ichabod said, "Remember Mark Spitz?"
I said, "How did that happen? He is so old!"
She said, "Have you looked in the mirror?"
Christina is such a comfort in my old age. The shock came from not hearing about Spitz for 50 years - his medals came in 1972 and 1976.
People ignore so many toxic emissions from their synod because of gradual change. That is why WELS-LCMS-ELS sell the book The Frog in the Kettle, written by George Barna, David Valleskey's favorite theologian.
The pretext is that a frog will stay in a gradually warmed kettle but jump out of one that is warmed quickly. That is ridiculous, so it is telling that Lutherans wanting change sell that book to their victims, their little frogs in the kettle. Unfortunately, sentient beings are much dumber than frogs - Lutherans stay until parboiled.
The so-called conservatives think a little witticism will lower the heat they are feeling. That only helps them adjust to the new temperature. They cannot imagine living apart from Holy Mother Synod and their dear friends.
