IT DOES NOT TAKE ALL THAT!

ByDr. Mark August 7, 2025 0 Comments
I’m not writing about the diligence and dedication or the commitment and the concerted effort to break a bad habit when I say, “It does not take all that!” I am referring to good habits! One little interference, interruption, or insistence of one type or the other can cause you to skip doing what you are supposed to do every day. Case in point: I got up Monday morning at 1:30 a.m. I stayed...

METHODOLOGY THAT MATTERS

ByDr. Mark March 18, 2025 0 Comments
In the late 1990’s I worked for a top manufacturer of audio equipment for automobiles. Across the company this organization had adopted the 5S approach, a system that included guidelines for organizing the workplace. They include, Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. While these guidelines were effective in the workplace and while they can be applied to how you keep your home...

NEW

At this time of the year, there is a lot of “new.” But most of the “new” soon, quickly, rapidly becomes “old.” There are new clothes that soon become old and worn, perhaps even after the first wash or dry cleaning. There are new cars that become old used cars as soon as they are driven off the dealer’s lot. There are newborn babies that quickly go from being seen as new joy to both...

THE NIGHT THAT CHANGED MY MIND!

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6 KJV) I could have titled this meditation, “I Once Was Blind, But Now I See,” but I opted to title it based in the eye-opening night that changed my mind. Not that many years ago I taught a 400-level course, “Ethics” as it applied to leadership. Four hundred level courses are...

THE TEN PRINCIPLES STILL WORK!

A couple of weeks ago, teaching from The Book of Titus in Sunday School, Dr. G. passed out some small pieces of paper with white print on a purple background. The class was surprised, anticipating that Dr. G. would go directly into the duties of ministers, older men, older women, young men and young women. They were possibly wondering why they were being distributed the small pieces of purple...

THE REAL TIME LAPSE, NOT A COMMERCIAL!

ByDr. Mark September 3, 2024 0 Comments
Early morning commercials, the ones that air on TV before 6:00 a.m. promote products to remove wrinkles for aged faces and they use time lapse pictures. Perhaps the time slot for this promotion is because somebody thinks seniors are the only ones up at that time. If we are, as a side note, I know we are saying, “Thank you Lord for one more day!” Now, regarding the time lapse in the...

SHAKING OFF THAT NOT AWAKE FEELING

“Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?”  “O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.”  Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!  This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look!  I am going to put breath into you and make you live again!  I will...
