A Salute To Courage And Heart!

At times I am reminded that simple acts of kindness make a huge difference.  Check out Josh Ripley a Junior on Andover's Cross Country Team, as he chooses to help an injured competitor...

Weekly Focus

The staff at Cornerstone is doing something new...at least for us.  Each Tuesday we are selecting a verse(s)of scripture and a couple of questions to focus on during the upcoming week.  Our goal is to come together at our next staff meeting and discuss how that verse(s) is impacting our lives.  If you'd like to join us on the journey here are this weeks verse and questions:

Then Jesus said to the disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.” - Matthew 16:24

Question #1:  Where is God asking you to deny yourself?  Be specific.  What does that look like?
Question #2:  What cross do you need  to take up?  How do we do that?

Top 10 Apps...

Here are 10 Apps that are making a difference on my iPhone, iPad and in life.

1. Dropbox a free service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. Never email yourself a file again!

2. Goodreader is the PDF reader I use on my iPad.  Great for presentations!  Mashable describes it as “a Swiss Army knife   of awesome!” Reviews worldwide hail it as “essential,” “the best,” “magnificent” and “the killer app”.

3. Zite is a personalized magazine for your iPad that automatically learns what you like and gets smarter as you use it. Zite gives you personalized news, articles, blogs, videos and other content from a variety of both mainstream and niche publications and sites.

Hearing From God...Maybe?

This weekend a couple of you asked, "How do I know if this 'voice' this push or desire is coming from God?"  Great question.  I believe hearing from God get's easier over time as you grow in your relationship with him.  You learn to recognize His voice - the way he communicates with you.  It's kind of like hearing a strange voice when you answer the phone - you have to ask, "Who is this?"  Compare that to picking up the phone and hearing someone you've known for 10-15 years as they ask, "How's it going?"  You don't have to wonder who - you just know their voice.

Thank You!

Huge thanks to all our volunteers for making this weekend at Cornerstone amazing.   Nothing happens without you!

Cornerstone, you continue to inspire and encourage.  Thank you for making a difference in our community.
