FAITH

BY RICK BOX

Finding Encouragement In Discouraging Times

eing an optimist by nature, troubles must stack up very high before I begin to feel discouraged. Usually, I can find a bright side to any dark time. However, I had one of those weeks recently when my optimism was no match for the daunting challenges I was facing.

Our upcoming event was becoming overwhelming with one problem arising after another. We were experiencing some online communications and registration problems, and I learned of some customer issues that had to be resolved quickly if the conference were to be a success.

With my discouragement building, I did not know the solutions to the difficulties we were facing, but I did know one thing: I needed solitude. I decided to get away for a while by retreating to my automobile.

While riding in my car, I prayed and

“At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One.”

Ephesians 6:16 (GNT)

As a follower of Jesus, you have fiery darts coming at you all the time. Satan implants the following thoughts into your mind:

Doubt. You start asking yourself, “Did God really say that? Can I really trust God? Isn’t that just your interpretation?”

Discouragement. Satan tells you, “You’re never going to get any better. Your life won’t change. Don’t even

fervently asked God for direction and wisdom. I was desperate for answers, and despite my discouragement felt confident the Lord would provide the answers we needed. These moments of personal reflection reminded me of a passage in the Bible’s New Testament which says, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance” (James 1:2-3).

Joy was not the emotion I had been feeling, but pausing to remember and embrace that promise dramatically affected my attitude, as well as the approach I would take in addressing those seemingly insurmountable issues. My discouragement eased when I realized God had a purpose behind all these challenges. With this new sense of peace, I and those working with me were able to take a fresh look at problems we were dealing with and find sat-

isfactory resolutions. God’s Word encouraged me during that time of great discouragement. It can do the same for you.

The Bible has much to say concerning our times of adversity and discouragement. Here are just a few of the simple but straight-forward assurances we can find in the Scriptures:

Trust that God knows what He is doing. During major problems, we might have trouble believing God has any idea what we are facing. However, the Bible assures us that He does know and understand. “’For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).

Trust in God’s direction. One of the wonderful things of a walk of faith is the assurance that when we have

try.”

Delay. Something you want to happen hasn’t happened by now, so you ask yourself, “Why is this taking so long?”

Difficulty. You think, “Why is this so hard? Why is it so hard to make my marriage work? Why is it so hard to get a job?”

Depression. You tell yourself, “It’s not worth it.” You don’t even feel like making an effort.

All these darts come on a regular basis. They create uncertainty in your life. In times of great uncertainty—like when you’re out of work or going through a major family transi -

tion—these fiery darts will fly at you even faster.

You’ve got to be ready for them!

The Bible says, “At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One” (Ephesians 6:16 GNT).

How do you handle these darts?

Put on the shield of faith. It’s the only protection you have against doubt, discouragement, delay, difficulty, and depression. Trust God, no matter what you see, hear, or feel about the world around you. You need the certainty of God when you face the uncertainty of Satan’s fiery darts.

made wrong decisions or have gone off course, God is able to redirect us. “Trust in the Lord with all year heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Trust in God’s wisdom. When we seek God and His wisdom, He can and will provide in many ways. The key is not only to ask, but also to trust that He will provide what we need and when we need it. “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind” (James 1:5-6).

Copyright 2024, Unconventional Business Network. Adapted with permission from “UBN Integrity Moments”, a commentary on faith at work

You need to doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs. Most people do just the opposite. They doubt their beliefs and believe their doubts. That’s foolish! Believe what God tells you in his Word.

You need that kind of certainty in difficult days. With the shield of faith, you have certainty that God’s promises are true, even when they don’t appear to be true in your life.

Don’t ever take off the shield of faith. Satan will never stop throwing his fiery darts at you. Stay on your guard. Trust God and his Word, no matter what’s going on in your life.

Planetary Lifeguard™ Sees Warren Buffett’s Billions

Taming Oil and Gas to be Environmentally Friendlier

If you’re following worrisome climate developments around the world like Planetary Lifeguard™, you might also see them approaching tipping points.

And where will our planet go when we reach these tipping points? Frankly, my dears, Planetary Lifeguard™ does give a damn as he sees this raising the specter of our planet undergoing changes that are irreversible, and more disastrous!

A flood of recent reports is alerting our ever-watchful lifeguard that our planet’s intricate environment is undergoing major upheavals from activities we humans are irresponsibly engaged in like deforestation, carbon emissions, and not proceeding fast enough building wind and solar power plants.

As a result, glaciers around the world, from Greenland to Switzerland to Antarctica, are melting faster than expected. Atmospheric and ocean heat keeps hitting new highs caused by what Planetary Lifeguard™ is furiously blowing his whistle against–climate change.

As if emissions weren’t bad enough, now research is indicating that up to half of the Amazon rainforest is rapidly being transformed into grasslands or weakened ecosystems in the coming decades because of deforestation, compounded by, climate change and drought.

Our watchful lifeguard sees those stresses eventually driving the entire forest ecosystem, home to a tenth of the planet’s land species, past a tipping

point that would trigger a forest-wide collapse.

And now research suggests that a crucial network of ocean currents carrying warm water into the North Atlantic is showing early signs of collapse because of an influx of fresh water from another worrisome problem–melting glaciers.

Some climatologists believe we’re approaching a key threshold that if crossed could accelerate change causing a profound transformation and an onslaught of self-propelling changes that could become, perish the thought, permanent.

Our earth’s ecosystems, forests, coral reefs, and lakes are in turmoil, too. The collapse of boreal forests, which burned at an unprecedented rate

CARTOON

last year, sent carbon flying into the atmosphere. Compounding that was the water stress that fires cause, reducing the ability of trees to resist insect infestation, which in turn makes them more vulnerable to fires, in what’s called a “feedback loop.”

Currents and monsoons regulating the oceans and the atmosphere also can slow down, warm up and shift in various ways. They can move saltier water from one part of the ocean to another and if they become weaker, less salt is transported, making surface water less salty, which in turn makes it less dense and less likely to sink, weakening currents further and on and on, as the harmful effects spiral.

Americans Reveal How They Feel About Living in Small Spaces

(StatePoint) When it comes to the home, bigger doesn’t always mean better.

A new survey from Duck brand, which offers products that provide simple, imaginative and helpful solutions for a variety of tasks around the home, discovers that more than half of Americans living in a small space say they feel cozy and comfortable as opposed to cramped.

“We often assume that a larger home is the most desirable, but that’s not always the case,” says Chaffy Assad, product manager at Shurtape Technologies, LLC, the company that markets the Duck brand. “In fact, nearly half of the survey respondents enjoy living in a small space, which most defined as a two-bedroom home or smaller.”

A more intimate space offers many benefits: 61% say it’s easier to clean, 54% say it costs less and helps

save money and 52% say it’s easier to maintain. Additionally, 57% plan to continue living in their home for the foreseeable future.

While there are many benefi ts to tinier homes, there are some challenges to living with less space. Fifty-nine percent of Americans say the biggest downside is the lack of storage, with 48% of people feeling it’s harder to keep small spaces clean and organized

compared to larger spaces.

Which areas prove to create the biggest cleaning conundrums? The kitchen ranks number one as the hardest room to keep neat and tidy, with the living room a close second, followed by the bedroom in third. The belongings that are the most diffi cult to make space for are cookware, bags, shoes and gym equipment.

It’s Tax Time: 3 Ways the Pros Can Help You Save This Year

That being said, Americans are good at finding ways to make the most of their home by keeping clutter to a minimum and getting creative with organizing, the survey finds. Duck brand offers a variety of organizing ideas and solutions that help people tidy up, from the EasyMounts Mounting System that can transform a disorganized entryway, closet or garage, to the versatile EasyLiner Brand Shelf Liner that can make surfaces stylish and mess-free.

“No matter how limited your space is, there is always a way to maximize it,” Assad adds. “Making minor and affordable changes, like mounting removable hooks on the wall, easily adds extra storage to hang such items as cooking utensils or a purse, while installing shelf liner on kitchen shelves or in bathroom drawers protects surfaces and makes it simple to wipe up spills or messes.”

(StatePoint) As you file your taxes, you may be wondering how a successful tax plan can help you reach your financial goals, whether you’re filing taxes for the first time as a young professional or approaching retirement.

During tax time, put this aspect of your financial plan on the front burner by working with a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional. Here are three ways a CFP® professional can help you make the most of tax deductions, tax credits and tax-advantaged accounts:

1. Avoid surprises: A tax refund may feel like a boon, but it means that you gave the government an interest-free loan. However, you don’t necessarily want to swing too far in the other direction and end up with an unmanageable tax bill. A CFP® professional can help you adjust your tax estimates or withholdings, so you are more likely to break even next year-end. And if you do end up with a refund, they can help

you redirect the money in a way that’s beneficial to your overall financial plan.

2. Plan for the future: The maximum employee deferrals to defined contribution plans such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s have risen considerably. A CFP® professional can help you determine how much you can comfortably contribute each month to shelter more of your wealth from taxes. This move has an additional benefit if you’re close to the edge of a higher tax bracket —

by trimming taxable income, you can fall into a lower bracket and save. And, of course, by boosting deferrals, you will be setting yourself up for a more comfortable retirement.

3. Become a strategic giver: As you file your taxes each year, you may have noticed that there’s a high bar for claiming deductions for charitable donations. In fact, for 2023, that standard deduction is $13,850 for single filers and $27,700 for married couples

filing together. To make more of your charitable dollars, a CFP® professional can help you establish a donor-advised fund. This allows you to “bunch” your donations and qualify for deductions immediately. This tax-advantageous method of giving is good for you, and good for your end recipients, as it allows your contributions to potentially grow while you decide which charities to support.

CFP® professionals know the latest tax code changes that average investors often do not. To find a CFP® professional committed to acting in your best interest during tax time and beyond, visit LetsMakeAPlan.org.

Two Boca Raton Residents Celebrate 105th Birthdays Together at Sinai Residences!

Boca Raton, FL – The Toby & Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences Boca Raton, a not-for-profit continuing care retirement community in Boca Raton, today celebrated the 105th birthdays of two residents: Frieda “Fritzi” Siegel and Mildred “Millie” Dien.

The party was attended by Palm Beach County Mayor Maria Sachs’ assistant Ed Sol;

City of Boca Raton Council Member Yvette Drucker; City of Boca Raton Council Member Fran Nachlas;

CEO of Sinai Residences Rachel Blumberg;

And lots of family and friends.

Fritzi and Millie were honored with a proclamation from PBC Mayor Maria Sachs naming it “Fritzi and Millie Day” and letters of recognition from the City of Boca Raton.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are currently just under 11,000 people aged 105 or older living in the U.S.

Frieda “Fritzi” Siegel

On February 23, 1919, Frieda Friedman was born in Brooklyn, NY, to Kate and Oscar Friedman, the eldest of three children. She had a younger brother, Milton, who passed away at the age of 39, and a younger sister who died at just nine months old. Both her parents were immigrants, her mother hailing from Russia and her father from Poland. While her mother retained a distinctly “European” demeanor, her father embraced American culture and founded a successful millinery company, capitalizing on the popularity of hats in fashion. Fritzi

was among the few women to graduate from NYU, though she didn’t actively pursue a career. It was during a stay as a guest at a Catskills hotel that she met Max Siegel, a student working as a waiter. They married on November 23, 1941. Max went on to earn his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and gained international renown in his field. Together, they welcomed a son, Ozzie, in October 1944, and a daughter, Shelley, in December 1951. Currently, Fritzi enjoys the company of her six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren another expected at the end of February. Frieda lived in New York until 1980 when she relocated full-time to Boca West, where she indulged her passions for golf and canasta. Though widowed at the age of 69, she continued to lead a vibrant life. She resided independently until the age of 102 when she began to receive some assistance, all the while maintaining a keen eye on her appearance, earning her the title of a true “clotheshorse.” In November 2023, Fritzi transitioned to the

Assisted

Mildred “Millie” Dien

Millie was born on March 11, 1919 to immigrant parents from Hungary. Millie was the eldest of three children. She had a brother, Sam, who passed away a few years ago and a younger sister Pearl, who lives at Toby & Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences in Boca Raton as well. Millie grew up in Brooklyn and was in charge of a chemical office. She married Hyman Dien in 1941 and was married for 73 years before he passed away. They have three children: two sons and one daughter. Her boys, Jeffery and Martin, live in South Florida and her daughter Judy lives in New York. Millie is very family conscious and has always lived with or near her sister Pearl so they could raise their families together. For 29 years, they lived in the same building occupying separate apartments and her parents

would spend the winters in the same building. After spending years living in Brooklyn, Millie and her husband moved to Whisper Walk gated community in South Florida, where they lived until he passed. Back in 2015, Millie’s sister Pearl first heard about Sinai Residences and signed a contract. Pearl convinced Millie to move to Sinai Residences with her and the two sisters moved into separate apartments one day apart in February of 2016. Millie said her long life is probably due to genetics as her mom lived to 102. She said she has lived an active lifestyle and was always athletic and in sports. Millie and her husband loved bowling and would bowl at least twice a week. He was a 200 bowler. She still has an active social life, playing cards and connecting with friends at Sinai. She has seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Toby & Leon Cooperman Sinai Residences Boca Raton is a notfor-profit continuing care retirement community developed by Federation CCRC Development, a subsidiary of the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County. Highly secure, with restricted gated access, Sinai is nestled on the 100-acre Federation campus, the largest land-based federation in the country. Sinai provides a superior lifestyle for active adults through a focus on wellness, health services and a wide variety of sophisticated activities. While guided by Jewish faith and heritage, Sinai’s progressive senior living community in Boca Raton welcomes people of all faiths, beliefs and cultures. Learn more at www.SinaiResidences.com.

Q&A with Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor Wendy Sartory Link on Early Voting Starting Saturday, March 9

Q: Early voting starts on March 9 for both Boca Raton’s municipal election and the presidential preference primary on March 19. What can voters expect for early voting?

A: Voters can early vote before work at 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (polls close). Early voters can vote in any of our 23 early voting locations, so if they’re having lunch in Jupiter, they can even early vote there. (See all early voting sites in the graphic.)

Q: I understand voters can even make an appointment to early vote. That’s great for people who can’t wait in line to vote.

A: Here’s the link to make an early voting appointment and early voting information: https://www.votepalmbeach. gov/Voters/Early-Voting

Q: For new city of Boca Raton residents, can anyone early vote or vote on March 19?

Voters have to live inside the city limits to vote in the municipal election. People with a Boca Raton address who live in the county can’t vote in the muni, but can vote in the presidential preference primary if they’re registered, correct?

A: Feb. 20 was the last day to register to vote in the March elections. Residents can still register to vote in the primary election Aug. 20 (and future elections. Deadline to register or change parties is July 22). https://www.votepalmbeach. gov/Elections/Election-Dates-andDeadlines

Q: Boca voters may not understand your office handles voting results, not the city. How can people find out who won the city council seats and keep track of results?

A: We get the results and tabulations

(including drop box and mail-in ballots) and get them on our website frequently. We try hard to keep updated on our website. https://www.votepalmbeach.gov/

Here’s the five Boca Raton early voting sites:

· Boca Raton Downtown Library, 400 NW 2nd Ave.

· Glades Road Branch Library, 20701 95th Ave. South

· Sugar Sand Park Community Center, 300 South Military Trail

· Spanish River Library, 1501 NW Spanish River Blvd.

· West Boca Branch Library, 18685 State Road 7

Q&A with Yvette Drucker, Candidate for Boca Raton City Council

By Marci Shatzman

Q: Why are you running for a second term on Boca’s city council, and what will your priorities be this time?

A: As your Councilwoman, it is my privilege to continue to take on the tough issues. I’m ready to keep fighting for forward-thinking, common-sense solutions that work. I will continue to promote transportation solutions, advocate for home rule, and continue to understand the current and future

needs of our city as it relates to business, affordable housing, and growth.

Q: How have you and your priorities changed from your first term?

A: Any good leader has to change with their environment. When I first got elected, we worked hard on Covid 19 recovery.

Our new initiatives are centered around affordable housing, transit, job creation and public safety.

Q: What do you want voters to know about you that they don’t already think they know?

A: I am campaigning to continue my focus on making city hall even more responsive to the needs of residents and local businesses. I will continue to prioritize transportation innovation to get us moving more efficiently, and support smart solutions for housing affordability and cost-of-living for families, seniors and those just starting. I’ll be laser-focused on local economic

sustainability and job creation, and keep public safety a top priority.

Q: Anything else you want to say?

A: Unlike my opponent, I am a long-time resident with a proven record of serving residents and neighborhoods and looking out for our local economy with innovative and responsible policies – and hard work. I do my homework, bring people together to form consensus and take tough stances to protect our quality of life locally and regionally.

I have a proven record of being a councilwoman who is a good listener with a clear vision as a tireless advocate for responsible policies that benefit the residents, neighborhoods, and businesses of Boca Raton.

Also, my civic involvement far exceeds my opponent and includes Statewide Public Affairs (SPAC) chair for a coalition representing 23 Florida Junior Leagues, Boca Raton Historical Society president, Calusa Elementary PTA president and board member, B’nai Torah Congregation PTO president, Don Estridge High Tech Middle School PTA

board VP of Ways & Means and Don Estridge foundation president, Florence Fuller Child Development Centers board, Boca Raton Children’s Museum VP and treasurer, Viner Scholarship Foundation mentor, Hillel International host committee, National Jewish Health committee member and GO Pink Ambassador.

My lifetime of work as an advocate for families and children through local and statewide civic engagement, my professional experience as a human resources professional, and being a mom to my wonderful children have all prepared me to approach my public service in a caring, get things done way. I love serving my fellow residents!

Carousel, Another SRO for The Wick

By Marci Shatzman

Who doesn’t know the words to most of the “Rodgers and Hammerstein” score in the musical “Carousel.”

“If I Love You.” “June is Bustin’ Out All Over.” “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”

The Wick Theatre’s opening night for the fourth show in their 10th season through March 24 was applauded after every production number. And the audience gave the cast several bows.

If you’ve never seen this show, the movie or a Broadway revival, the lyrics advance the story of an ill-fated man whose choices adversely affect his family. Trevor Martin, just off a global tour as Capt. Von Trapp in the “Sound of Music,” lends his lavish

baritone to the lead as Billy Bigelow, a role he’s played before.

Female leads have the vocal chops, too, from Julia Suriano to Wick favorite Mallory Newbrough, Colleen Pa -

gano to Dalia Aleman. The 37-member cast create a joyful noise, and the Wick’s Simon Coulthard’s take on the show’s elaborate choreography is a tribute to the legendary Agnes de Mille, the original choreographer.

World-Famous Soprano Sparkles

By Marci Shatzman

Hard to know whether her spectacular voice or her breathtaking gold sequin gown made more of an impact at soprano Renée Fleming’s Festival of the Arts BOCA performance.

Both were a wow.

Fleming spent her one-hour, one-woman show with pianist Bradley Moore standing stage front at the tented Mizner Park Amphitheater.

Still hitting her high Cs and beyond at age 65, “emotion and music go hand in hand,” she noted, adding “Florida’s humidity is good for my voice, but not for my hair.”

After arias by Handel, Hahn and others, she got a standing ovation for Puccini’s “O mio babbino cara.” (Her 2020 YouTube version has 84,400 views).

Taking a brief intermission offstage, she sang newer favorites. “I love the American songbook,” Flem -

ing said, launching into Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein’s “All the Things You Are.” Steve Wonder’s “My Cherie Amour” even got the Fleming touch.

“I am the Diva,” poked fun at herself, noting that label started with opera singers and is even used in commercials now. Two songs were semi-sing-alongs with the audience, including Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelu -

Spoiler alert: Abigail Marie Curran’s dancing as Bigelow’s daughter in the finale got the whole audience out of their seats.

Guests got to ride on a real carousel outside the theater before the performance.

Marilynn Wick, executive managing producer, also known for the mega costume collection from original Broadway shows, mentioned their final regular season production in her traditional welcome from the stage. “The Buddy Holly Story” runs from April 11 to May 5. The Wick is celebrating its 10th season March 30 with a gala fundraiser, live auction and performance by Broadway’s “Phantom of the Opera” Hugh Panaro. https:// thewick.org/

jah” and “I Could Have Danced All Night,” from “My Fair Lady.”

She chose Burt Bacharach’s “What the World Needs Now” for her finale. “That’s what’s needed today,” she said, taking her final bows and waving to the crowd. Fleming appeared the next evening to discuss her new book “Music and the Mind,” coming out on April 9. These were her third and fourth Boca appearances, the first in 2007 and again in 2015. Fleming fans still remember the green gown she wore last time. This one was by a British designer, according to a reliable source. But pairing her performance with a memorable dress is apparently not new to Fleming. Her 2014 Super Bowl gown by Vera Wang made it into the National Museum of American History.

Festival of the Arts BOCA performances and author talks continue through March 10. https://festivalboca.org/
