Dreaming of a Trip to the Eastern States of America

Impressions from Santa Barbara and Ventura Region
I would like to share something from our recent holiday in California in November. The last week we spent in Oxnard Southern California with Paula’s family and they took us on sightseeing in some of the areas that now so sadly are hit with wildfires.

Shlomo Katz
A miracle in the middle of the deepest darkness I listen to a classical radio station while driving car as well as at home. I heard about pieces of music that listeners wanted to trace.

The Great Day of Prayer
In Denmark we have many Bank Holidays in the spring. Not many people are actively Christians but they would be reluctant to see these holidays cancelled. One of these special days is this so-called “Great Day of Prayer” this Friday 30 days after Easter. The day before on Thursday evening we have a tradition is that you get warm fresh […]
Celebration of Liberty
4 May 1945 at 8.35 p.m. was the moment where the message from the Free London Press was read aloud in the Danish radios.
