Cornerstone

Last weekend we were lucky enough again to be a part of a really wonderful event in Akron for the second year in a row. It was the Leap Program at Cornerstone Methodist Church on Killian Road. This has been going on for a number of years, but my parnter Sue Wilson and I became aware of this fantastic day just last year.

This year over 2,000 people in need came by to get school supplies, clothes, medical treatment, haircuts, and just about every other service there is to be had. And again, it was all for free. When you are lucky enough to be a part of an event like this, it's as rewarding as anything you can do professionally. To go along with such a great need, is contact with so many great people.
There isn't much that can really be said about this event, it simply has to be experienced.

We all know that the economy has been tough the past few years, and some are still struggling mightily to make it through. And we will make it through. Because at least here in Akron, there will always be those with great needs coupled with those with great deeds. It's interwoven. And this event every single year is one of the best acts of good "deedsmanship" I have ever seen. It's just good...doing good.... with the good. Anyway you look at it.

But what would you expect from a place called Cornerstone anyway? Simply by definition, Cornerstone - "something that is the basic part of it, on its existence, success, or truth depends"

Looking forward to next year already.
