If you were in church at Cornerstone last Sunday you might have noticed that I wasn’t here, and neither was Stefan.  We were in Saguenay Quebec, visiting the group that make up our Bagotville satellite. Since last Fall, we have offered our Sunday morning worship service, via livestream, to military families at Canadian Forces Base…

--> I was following a car the other day when the driver threw garbage out the window. Hello! Now maybe I’m a little sensitive after having spent last Saturday morning picking garbage out of the ditch, but really, come on.  The last time I checked, littering was still considered rude and slightly obnoxious.  Not to…

It is just a “U”, but it is the difference between something being right and something being wrong. Perhaps you know what I’m talking about; It’s the “U” that our neighbours to the south neglect to include in words like harbour, colour and saviour. Which is fine if you live south of the 49th, but…

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…

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…
