He dropped the writ.  We’ve been waiting for it and wondering when it would happen and now it has happened.  Dropping the writ is an awesome term.  It is much classier than simply saying that he called an election.    However, it doesn’t really matter whether you are dropping a writ or calling an election, the…

There’s been a lot of talk of free trade in the news lately.  You might recall that one of the planks in Donald Trump’s election was to re-visit NAFTA to ensure that Americans were being treated fairly when it came to cross border commerce.  And it seems that’s one promise he’s set to deliver on.Last…

Have you heard about the research venture called “The Methuselah Project”? Those of you with a grasp of the Old Testament have probably made the leap already.  The Methuselah Project is looking into ways that we can stop or maybe even reverse the aging process.  As I read about medical advances and genomes, the benefit…

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…
