BY RICK BOXX

The Benefits Of Working With God In my career, I have started businesses without God, and I have started some with God. That is, in some cases I determined what kind of business to start and handled all the details on my own, without any consultation with God. For others, I took the time to pray, seeking God’s wisdom and direction, along with His leading for handling all the details that are so essential for launching a new business and getting it on the path to success.

business, it is critical that we remember one important principle: God owns it all. As 1 Chronicles 29:11 informs us, “Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O LORD, and this is your kingdom.

We adore you as the one who is over all things.”

Meditate on that for a few moments. Another verse from the Scriptures, Psalm 24:1, declares, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” Both of these passages mean God is in charge.

He has control over all the universe, big and small, and that includes our businesses. Trying to build something against God’s wishes or contrary to His plan is an exercise in foolishness.

The difference, I discovered, is like trying to run a race with heavy winds and storms in your face versus running the race with the wind at your back. In other words, you can attempt to do it the hard way or do it the (comparatively) easy way. Starting a new enterprise is never simple, but tapping into God’s infinite wisdom, guidance and provision definiteWe can look to many examples ly helps in overcoming the inevitable of entrepreneurs and innovative obstacles. business leaders who wisely chose to commit their businesses to God When contemplating starting a from the start.

Ultimately, Jesus was talking about the cost of being His follower: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me” (Luke 9:23).

Planetary Lifeguard Likens Altitude Water’s Providing Pure Drinking Water to the Central Narrative in the Bible, Exodus Altitude Water manufactures pure drinking water using its Next Generation Atmospheric Water Generators (AWG) that pulls water directly from humidity in air to create pure (distilled) water.

Carl Angus DeSantis Foundation Celebrates First Annual Catalyst Awards Delray Beach, FL – The Carl Angus DeSantis Foundation recently held the first annual Catalyst Awards luncheon at LaCigale in Delray Beach. Pastor Bill Mitchell of CityLead Boca and Delray Beach police Sgt. Danny Pacheco Jr. of Delray Kicks were each honored as the inaugural recipients of cash grants of $32,500 each. The Catalyst Award program was established to celebrate the spirit of the late entrepreneur and humanitarian Carl Angus DeSantis.

Launched officially just over a year ago, the Foundation has already distributed almost $4 million dollars to organizations and individuals who exemplify the spirit of community, leadership, and excellence personified by Carl DeSantis.

“Carl was a man of action, he made things happen,” said Jeff Perlman, Executive Vice President at CDS International Holdings and Foundation Administrator. “He was compassionate, generous, and colorful. In a word, he was a catalyst.

To honor his legacy in a way that embodies his character, we created this award to recognize the people in our community who show us what is possible when we take action to help others.”

“One Small Step” For More Pickleball In Boca Raton By: Marci Shatzaman

Boca Paddle is about to get the ball rolling to build a public indoor/outdoor pickleball center in North Park, part of the renamed former golf course in Boca Teeca.

Butters and team members Brian Levine, former CEO of Major League Pickleball and pickleball instructor Stewart Davis assured commissioners, they had plenty of time to do that.

“Our goal is to submit site plan approval around Feb. 19 to the city,” South Florida developer Malcolm Butters told Greater Boca Raton Beach & Park District commissioners to update the timeline.

There were also concerns about exclusivity since the Beach and Park District charges members and nonmembers different fees for its parks and recreation programs and beaches.

They’re expecting site plan approval by the end of the summer, a go-ahead to start construction “by this time next year,” and a January 2026 opening, he added.

They used the pickleball court costs at the district’s Patch Reef Park as models, Butters said. The district is also overhauling more pickleball courts at Patch Reef.

The building is “the same shape and size,” he said, but they tweaked the plans commissioners approved in October. “We spent the last two months designing the inside and outside with a lot of green before we go to the city,” he said.

“The project involves adding 18 covered courts and is now in the permitting stage. Currently, there are 12 pickleball courts at Patch Reef with the addition of the 18, that will make a total of 30 pickleball courts (18 of the 30 will be covered),” according to a district spokesperson.

Butters and his team showed two architectural sketches on a screen, but said there’s no renderings yet of the two-story building with 22 courts, 14 of them indoors, bar and kitchen areas, locker rooms, and party and event spaces, some with glass walls overlooking the courts.

Erin Wright, the board’s chair and only commissioner with small children worried the plans aren’t “family-friendly enough.”

In September, she voted for a popular commercial pickleball venue and restaurant among the five proposals the district considered, and she said so at Tuesday’s meeting. Other commissioners had misgivings, too. “Will the play areas be supervised?” asked Commissioner Steve Engel.

The district bought the closed Ocean Breeze golf course on Boca Teeca in 2017 and is repurposing the acreage after the city accepted a different site for its new municipal golf course.

Butters reassured commissioners the new building wouldn’t be disruptive for residents used to a golf course view.

“The walls are over 40 feet high, so if you live in Boca Teeca you will just see a beautiful park and a building,” he said. “It will have decorative accents so it won’t just be a white box.”

Butters also mentioned in passing that Boca Paddle has “moved on,” and The key is to create programming that replaced architect Juan Caycedo with appeals to kids, so they don’t sit around HMN Architecture. glued to their computer screens waiting for their parents to finish their game, speakScan QR code for ers said. more information February 8 - February 15, 2024

Q: Florida’s Presidential Preference Primary Election is on the same date, Tuesday March 19. Does that mean any registered city voters will have one ballot with both races or will they get separate ballots for each.

A: There are actually two ballots available. For those voters registered as Republicans, they will receive a ballot that contains the names of Republican candidates for president, as well as the candidates to choose from for the Municipal Election. Those voters who registered as Democrats or Independent will receive a ballot with only the candidates for the Municipal seats.

Q: Is the time up for candidates for a city office to register to run? And are the four candidates listed the only ones who will be on the city ballot? (The candidates for Seat D are Brian Stenberg and Andrew Thomson. The candidates for Seat C are Yvette Drucker and Bernard Korn.) https://myboca.us/2397/Candidates A: Yes, the qualifying period closed on Nov. 9.

Q: Has Boca Raton Deputy Mayor Monica Mayotte term-limited, so she can’t run again now? Is the other seat for Councilwoman Yvette Drucker’s second term?

ENTERTAINMENT Last Jewish ‘Gangster’ Announces His New Fight Against Antisemitism By: Marci Shatzaman

Myron Sugarman was supposed to be on stage at the Wick Theatre to plug the movie about his colorfully illegal life to launch the Inaugural Boca International Jewish Film Festival.

Sugerman, now in his 80s, said he “did time” but never did “hits.” His announcement came after he and director Jonny Caplan showed the Florida premiere of “Last Man Standing: The Chronicles of Myron Sugerman” as the leadup to the film festival with 70 international films and speakers Feb. 25 to March 17.

Patrons at the launch event included Marilyn and Jay Weinberg. Their Holocaust Film Series will present eight films during the festival and films throughout the year, and is included as a benefit to patrons and passholders. The Billi and Bernie Marcus Year-Round Film Program will offer films throughout the year to the community and is also included as a benefit.

His father was partners with known Jewish mobsters Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Seigel, according to Sugarman and the movie. It showed how the Jewish mob stood up to antisemitism and Nazi violence in the United States from the American Nazi Party. That led to Sugarman’s association with Simon Wiesenthal, the famed Nazi hunter, who the movie depicts intervening with judges when Sugarman was arrested for his illegal activities.

In person and virtually, the film festival will present 70 features, documentaries and short films from the U.S. and around the world, and feature filmmakers, producers and actors. Screenings

“Cinema, as a universal language, transcends cultural divides and speaks to the common threads of the human experience,” said Wendy Honig, festival co-founder, who also spoke at the launch event. “While this festival celebrates Israeli and Jewish culture, the art of film becomes a powerful force, reminding us that, irrespective of our backgrounds, we are all storytellers sharing the same narrative of humanity.”

Packages of passes for multiple in-theater and virtual films before, during and after the festival are on sale.
