Still Small Voice – 2 Nisan 5783/ March 24th, 2023
Dear Friends: “In those days there was no king in Israel; every man did as he pleased.” Judges 17:6 Concerning Israel, today, no news is good news. All we hear is confusion, accusations and hatred. How can we be blessed? Jay observes that it harkens back to the time of the Judges when the people demanded a King. I am afraid we are in...

My dear friends: Shalom is a wonderful word to speak out into your world in these days, Peace! Peace can only flow from heaven downward to us, as we lift our eyes and faith and send up praise and worship wanting nothing in return, but His Presence!

Still Small Voice, Humor at Purim – March 10th 2023.
Shalom, dear Friends, During Purim which was a few days ago, we do fun stuff. Refusing to be paralyzed when faced with darkness is really the essence of the story of Queen Esther; along with the ability to use great wisdom and unify the people in your world. Allow me, at this time, to introduce you to Daniel’s wife Shelly, an Israeli/Canadian. In Hebrew,...

Still Small Voice – 3 Adar 5783 / 24. Februar 2023
Liebe Freunde: Der Mensch kann zuweilen so entmutigend sein. Sind die Kriege und Kriegsgerüchte, die Wirbelstürme, Erdbeben und Zyklone nicht schon Katastrophen genug? Der Mensch hat das Bedürfnis, weitaus größere, von ihm selbst verursachte Tragödien zu erzwingen. Ich beziehe mich jetzt auf die Justizreformen, die in Israel rasch durchgeführt werden. Werden sie zu einer besseren Demokratie in Israel führen, oder zu einer gescheiterten Demokratie?...

Still Small Voice – 3. Adar 5783 / February 24th, 2023
Dear Friends: Man can be so discouraging at times. Aren’t the wars and rumours of war, along with the hurricanes, earthquakes, and cyclones enough disasters today? Man has the need to impose far greater tragedies of his own making. I am referring now to the judicial reforms rapidly taking place in Israel. Will they result in a better democracy in Israel or a failed...

Shalom, Dear Friends: My heart is warmed, hearing from you. Let’s take a moment for a cup of tea or coffee. We are exhorted to “have faith”. Not to “try” faith. These have been days of heartache for all people, and we need inner strength. What better response can there be but, prayer and the firm knowledge that “this IS my Father’s world!”...

Still Small Voice – February 10th, 2023
“When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. I praise God for what He has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. My enemies will retreat...
