Who would have thunk?  After living together for thirty years they are finally tying the knot.  And I don’t know what was more of a shock, reading about the wedding or seeing the picture of the happy couple. She doesn’t look much different than she did when I had a crush on her when I…

So, the other day I was strolling through Walmart when I heard it.  At first I thought I had just imagined what they were singing about, but when I stopped and paid closer attention I confirmed that was what they were singing.  And nobody seemed outraged, as a matter of fact I don’t think anyone…

I stumbled across something the other day that I didn’t know.  Unlike our neighbours to the south, our leaders very rarely talk about their faith publically.  We all seem to know that Stephen Harper was an Evangelical Christian, but I never actually heard him mention it.  Maybe everyone learned a lesson from Stockwell Day.  But…

It’s November, the days are getting shorter and as much as we might try to ignore it, thoughts of Christmas start creeping up.  At Cornerstone we promote “Christmas” projects, not projects that have will have an impact on Cornerstone but on people who we will never meet. Operation Christmas Child will put gift boxes in…

Angela and I were marvelling at the autumn colours last week as we drove along the highway. The woods were a kaleidoscope of colours, no two the same. It wasn’t hard to imagine Jack Frost painting each leaf individually.One of the many things we missed during our time in Australia were the fall colours. As…

I was part of democracy in action this week. Not only did I vote but I also worked on Election Day as the Central Poll Supervisor, which isn't nearly as important as it sounds.Pretty good gig, all in all, I was paid by Elections Canada to welcome people to Cornerstone.  During those twelve hours I…

I saw a sign in a Doctor’s office once that had a profound effect on how I view life, and how I approach it in most cases.  The sign said, and I quote, “Don’t take life too seriously, because you’ll never get out of it alive!”  Deep?  Profound?  Have you stopped and smelled the roses…

Well, have you made up your mind yet?  You’ve had eleven weeks to decide but I’d be willing to wager that you had your mind made up long before then.  As a matter of fact I would suspect that there hasn’t been much done or said over the past eleven weeks that has had much…

Thousands of people have been descending on the small Cape Breton village of Inverness, all seeking the chance to turn over a single card and win a fortune.  The game is Chase the Ace and it’s a fund raiser for the local legion.  You play by purchasing 5 tickets for 5 dollars and if one…

I thought I was booked, I was planning on going and never doubted for a minute that I wouldn’t make the trip.  Back in June, I booked my trip to represent the Atlantic District at a conference in Michigan.  I even paid for it, and then I tried to check in online only to have…
