DYOFMI

ByDr. Mark August 19, 2026 4 Comments
“For the Lord is good…” (Psalm 100:5 Amplified Bible) Call today’s meditation a DYOFMI! No, it's not a real word. I just made it up. There are two parts in my created word: (1) the DYO part, and (2) the FMI part. The first part, the DYO part, will give you an opportunity to be part of a meditation to be published later this week. All you have to do is to write me a reply,...

TAKE THE RISK

ByDr. Mark August 18, 2026 2 Comments
“In the crowd that day there was a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with hemorrhages. She had spent every penny she had on doctors but not one had been able to help her. She slipped in from behind and touched the edge of Jesus’ robe. At that very moment her hemorrhaging stopped. Jesus said, ‘Who touched me?’ When no one stepped forward, Peter said, ‘But Master, we’ve got...

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SAME

ByDr. Mark August 17, 2026 2 Comments
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” (Albert Einstein) This is your Monday Short meditation. Smile, because me meaning of “Short” is never the same. Listen! There is a problem with “same.” The unsaved, by all means need to experience change by coming out of darkness into the marvelous, wonderful light. If not, there is a problem with...

DID YOU LOOK OUTSIDE?

ByDr. Mark August 16, 2026 4 Comments
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament show His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.  Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,...

I’M A POSTER CHILD NOW!

ByDr. Mark August 15, 2026 3 Comments
As part of my project to decorate my workspace, I ordered three posters with white print on a black background. One of the posters focuses on “SUCCESS,” and another one focuses on “AMBITION.” Those were good, but the one that stood out to me the most focuses on “DISCIPLINE,” a noun. It reads, “Hard work beats talent. Work hard in silence. Let your success make the noise.” I hung...

THE SHELTER AND THE SHADOW!

ByDr. Mark August 14, 2026 2 Comments
“Those who live in the shelter of the Most Highwill find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” (Psalm 91:1 NLT) Monday afternoon, as I drove to church for a meeting with the pastor, I passed a small park that had a shelter that provided shade from the scorching hot sun. Primarily, the purpose of this structure was to provide parkgoers, picnickers, and parents who would be seeking to remain...

PERSONALITY

ByDr. Mark August 13, 2026 2 Comments
During the course of time, psychologists, social scientists, and educators have described how our personality is developed. Yes, you could visit the theories of Freud, Allport, Erikson, and you can see what medical physicians who focus on genetics have to say about personality development. You can do all that academic research if you so choose, but if you want to know the most significant factor...

LOWER YOUR VOICE

“Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek out David; and when David heard about it, he went down to the stronghold. Now the Philistines came and overran the Valley of Rephaim. So, David inquired of the Lord, saying, ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You hand them over to me?’ And the Lord said to...

DON’T COMPROMISE

“In the seventh year of Jehu, Jehoash became king, and he reigned for forty years in Jerusalem; and his mother’s name was Zibiah of Beersheba. Jehoash did what was right in the sight of the Lord all his days that Jehoiada the priest instructed him. Only the high places did not end; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.” (2 Kings 12:1-3 NASB) Ronald’s...

THE REPURPOSED

ByDr. Mark August 10, 2026 2 Comments
This is your Monday Short meditation! It has to do with repurposing. Let’s say that you drive through a neighborhood that you lived near or drove through frequently in the distant past. As you did, you saw “The Repurposed.” Yes, vacated stores that once thrived with a steady flow of customers had been abandoned because of retail related reasons, but those stores have been repurposed as...
