It sounds like something from a science fiction novel, a harbinger of things to come. A computer that has been taught to learn. Can anything good come from this? In June, Google’s secretive X-Labs conducted an experiment involving the networking of 16,000 ultrafast computer processors. Then they loaded 10 billion random images from YouTube videos…
The Cost of Church Growth
It’s funny but in church life we often have a few different “Brand New Years”. The first Sunday in January we celebrate the “New Year” with the rest of Canada often with a sermon on forgetting the past and looking ahead to what God has in store for us. At Cornerstone as well as other…
Poor Harry…… part deux.
Poor Harry…… part deux. Alas, it wasn’t enough to have to write about Harry last week after it was reported that he was cavorting with members of the opposite sex by the pool. Then he goes and loses all of his clothes in a strip billiard game and his friends post the pictures they took. …
I am the Gate
I am. That’s what Jesus said. “I am.” Since June we have been looking at the various times that Jesus used the phrase “I am” to metaphorically describe himself. “I am the Way”, “I am the truth”, “I am the resurrection”, “I am the life”, “I am the bread of life”, “I am the light…
Remember who you are
Poor Harry. The headline said it all “British royal Prince Harry has put his grandfather's ill health to one side to go on a wild holiday.” But did it really say it all?

Cheaters never win. . . well maybe sometimes
He cheated! So What? At least that seems to be the consensus. During the Olympics, South African swimmer Cameron van der Burgh, broke the world record on his way to winning Gold in the 100M breaststroke last week. However, video footage shows that van der Burgh took three “dolphin kicks” at the beginning of the…
De-evolving
Sometimes I suspect that if Darwin was alive today he would amend his theory to state that human beings are actually de-evolving. I read an article a while ago about the pitcher on a high school baseball team who was hit in the head by a line drive. Which actually might explain the rest of…
I am the Resurrection
Where is he? Where? Where is he? How many times had she asked that question over the past four days. Her only brother had come down with some mysterious virus and nobody could do anything for him. Well nobody except for their friend Jesus. How many times had he reached out his hand and the…
Vindicated
The dingo did eat the baby! Have you ever been vindicated? You know, after someone lied about you & in the end, it came out that you had been right all along.A month ago, an Australian Coroner ruled that at least one dingo was responsible for the death of baby Azaria Chamberlain in 1980. If…
