It just seems to make good sense. Last Sunday Cornerstone decided to embark on another adventure. Over the past several months your leadership team has been investigating ways to reduce our annual $16,000.00 power bill. And this isn’t a new thing, from the first power bill we ever received we have been trying to make…
. . . but doesn’t share well
It was bizarre. The other day I was working at the office annex (Tims), that wasn’t the bizarre part, when I noticed an older gentleman reading his morning newspaper. That wasn’t bizarre either, but after he finished each page he tore it in half and put it in a pile. That was bizarre. Most people…
Happy Thanksgiving
So, how was your Thanksgiving? We had a full house this year. Deborah and Stefan and the three girls were here along with our son Stephen. We did the traditional feast on Monday and will eat leftovers for a good part of the week. Thanksgiving was good, and we had a riot with the grandkids. …
Love thy Neighbour and turn down the Music
“I called the cops on a church!” Well, that made my ears perk up. I was working on my message at a Tim’s in the city the other day when I heard those words. I wasn’t exactly eavesdropping up to that point, but that quickly changed. According to the story that I overheard, the gentlemen…

What me worry?
It was 2:17 in the morning when it happened. I woke up. But more than that, I woke up and it was pouring out, and my first thought was a question. Did I put the roof up on my car when I came home? The obvious answer was, yes. I have been driving convertibles since…

I was at the beach, but I had no intention of getting wet.Last week Angela and I decided that a picnic with the grand kids would be fun while the weather was still warm so we arranged to meet our daughter and her family at the lake. My plan was to read and watch them…
It’s Just Ten Bucks
Lou Gehrig ’s disease, that’s what we called it when I was growing up. I’m sure that some folks actually referred to it as ALS but I was an adult before it was anything but Lou Gehrig ’s disease to me. I was just a kid when I saw the movie “Pride of the Yankees”…
Behind My Self
I was walking down the hall at the hospital the other day when I suddenly realized that I was following myself. And I was intrigued. I have been beside myself on different occasions but I had never been behind myself. Now understand, I wasn’t actually following myself, but it seemed that way. The guy I…
