That year gas sold for 54.3
cents a litre, the five year mortgage rate was 10.6 % and the Canadian dollar
was worth about 72 cents American. Some
might remember that was the year that the Maple Leaf Gardens were sold, the
Paul Bernado trial began, Quebec narrowly decided to remain a part of Canada,
the Canadiens traded Patrick Roy and Canadians got a new two dollar coin. But I had to look all of those things up.
What I remember from 1995 is that that was when Cornerstone was born. And like most births there was much hoopla
and predictions about the baby’s future, but as Yogi Berra said “It’s hard to
make predictions, especially about the future.”
The route Cornerstone took to
get to where we are today is not what I had in mind on that sunny and warm
spring day 20 years ago. But in the
journey, I have grown, the church has grown, lives have been touched and people
have met Jesus and made Him Lord but most importantly God’s purposes have been
served.
And while I have no idea what
may happen in the next twenty years I trust that I will grow, the church will
grow, lives be will touched, people will meet Jesus and God’s purposes will be
served. Have a great week and remember:
To see what is really possible, you will have to attempt the impossible.
