There are the same number of Jedi Knights as there are Wesleyans! Well, that’s not entirely true, there are the same number of Jedi across Canada as there are Wesleyans in Atlantic Canada. But still. . . They are in decline and while some are quick to offer up reasons, nobody is offering up solutions. …
Mother’s Days for Elizabeth
It is a familiar story and one that fits with Mother’s Day. A woman who wasn’t supposed to be a mother becomes a mother. It is one of the most familiar stories in the Bible but a story that is over shadowed by another story and gets lost. We are all familiar with the first…
Who am I?
It just took two digits and all of a sudden I wasn't who I thought I was. The other day I was topping up my “Mac Pass” and the “customer service” rep informed me that either my pass didn't belong to me or I wasn't who I said I was. Well I knew the pass…
Stairway to Heaven

A Little Good News, Please.
I need to say from the beginning that I feel that the bombing in Boston last week was a tragedy. But, did I have to hear about it every time I turned on the television or looked at a newspaper? It is because of the news coverage of events like this that people feel the…
The Blessing of the Tenth
So here we are, week three of Money Month 2013. You having fun yet? For those who are visiting with us or new to Cornerstone this is an annual event. Each April I take the opportunity to teach the theology of stewardship, which is a fancy way of saying we look at what the Bible…
Not Safe Box
They thought their valuables were safe. After all, they paid to make sure they were kept safe, and the things they kept their valuables in were called “safe deposit boxes.” Which I’m sure led people to believe that the items they stored in their “safe deposit boxes” would actually be safe. And different people had…
