How many of you have seen Star Wars? No, not the last one. I mean the first one “A New Hope”, not that we called it “A New Hope” we just called it Star Wars. And if you are interested it was released 40 years ago this weekend, May 25th 1977. I don’t know where…
Which way will we look?
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…
Just Stop It!
--> 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…
Layers of Minions
Layers of Minions As Sir Hiss was to Prince John and as Donkey was to Shrek, so Timothy is to Paul. Sounds like a question on a game show. What is “Henchman?” Hiss was a Henchman, Donkey was a side-kick and Timothy was a protégé but they were all Minions. And remember how the Oxford…
It’s just not right!
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…
Minions by the Bunch
When you hear the word “Minion” what do you think of? For some, you think of little yellow people in blue pants. For others, you have your own favorite minions from years past. The Disney films we grew up with were filled with Minions, albeit with other names. Snow White’s Step Mother had her magic…
Take the Time to Vote.
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…
Taking the My out of Money: The right Thing
Well, today is the day. You ready? It’s April 30th the last day to get your taxes filed for 2016. Or maybe you’ve already filed. Maybe it depends on whether it you are getting money back or paying money out. And taxes are a touchy subject for some folks, Politicians are elected or rejected often…
A Free Trade? Not.
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…
Taking the My out of Money: The Big Things
Two weeks ago I spoke about the little things, the minutia, the details. In that case it was the details that would have been involved in supporting Jesus and his disciples. And I looked at Luke 8:1-3. In particular the verse that said Luke 8:2-3 Among them were Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast…
