On my way home from Indiana a couple of weeks ago I heard United Airlines asking for volunteers to give up their seats on an overbooked flight.  They started by offering a $200.00 flight credit and by the time they were done they were up to a $800.00 credit, a hotel room, if needed, and…

22 years ago this very Sunday I preached my first message at Cornerstone, the church formerly known as Bedford Community Church.  Some of you who are here today were there, many who are here today weren’t even born. To put that into perspective, 22 years before I preached my first message at Cornerstone, the Vietnam War was…

To quote Uncle Albert, “I love to laugh”.  The other day, on my way through airport security my carry-on luggage was flagged for further inspection.  The suspicious article that showed up on the x-ray was my shaving mug and soap.  When I was trying to explain what it was, and that it wasn’t a liquid…

It was one of those newspaper articles that made me go:  Seriously?   Garage owner Chad Rankin is appealing a court decision that found him to be responsible for an accident involving two teens in 2006.The teens, who had been drinking and smoking pot, trespassed onto Rankin’s property and stole a car that had been left…

The mail always gets through, eventually.  I read a news story a number of years ago about a post card that arrived in Aberdeen Scotland from Brisbane Australia a little late.  In most cases surface mail from “Down Under” can take up four to six weeks to make the journey to Scotland. The problem was…

I read the other day that 58 % of sport fans pray that their team will win. I'm not sure what to make of that, other than wild speculation concerning the spiritual condition of Atlanta Falcon fans during this year’s Super Bowl. Think about it, 58 %, so how would, or more importantly, how should God respond…

I felt kind of silly, again.  We had just gotten off our cruise last week and we were picking up our rental car, a brand-new Ford Fusion.  I loaded our luggage, jumped in and pushed the button and nothing happened.  The engine didn’t start, the tach didn’t move, nothing.  So, I pushed the button again…

Where was the outrage? Unless you were in a cave over the past week, then you are aware of the attack on the Mosque in Quebec city on Sunday.Those things aren’t supposed to happen in Canada.  And yet they do.  And if the attack had of been against a church there would have been all kinds…

It was bound to come out.  In a recent study it was reported that “Doctor-assisted suicide could save Canada tens of millions of dollars annually by avoiding costly “end-of-life” care.” The study looked at the cost of medical care that was needed to treat terminally ill patients, estimated at $14,000.00 during the last 30 days…

I have read a number of disturbing stories recently about teachers and administrators in schools, in Canada and the States, who have been charged with possession of child porn or with being sexually involved with students.  What I haven’t read is reaction by people who say that they will no longer send their children to…
