EINEN HERING FUER MEIN KIND by Max Wedemeyer

EINEN HERING FUER MEIN KIND by Max Wedemeyer

Although the author is telling the stories of another family, we can be sure that he is writing about what happened to him. It is a bit of autobiography.

I have always wondered when reading autobiographies and biographies, how the writers remembered things in detail from fifty years ago.

But at last I have found a way to write my own story (autobiography) without having a bad conscience. I am not intending to do so.

Can we say that there is quite a bit of embroidery in the biographies and autobiographies we read? (Also called elaboration, embellishment and exaggeration.)

“‘ICH VERSTEHE DIE WELT NICHT MEHR!'”

Fingers

Heart

“Do not dirty the fingers which are soon to sweep celestial strings; do not let your eyes, which are soon to see the King in His beauty, become the windows of lust – do not let those feet, which are soon to walk the golden streets, be defiled in muddy places – do not let those hearts which are before long to be filled with heaven and to overflow with ecstatic joy, be filled with pride and bitterness.” – C. H. Spurgeon
