You’ve heard the saying of Jesus, “Do not cast your pearls before swine.” The basic meaning of that is don’t share yourself… your truth… your life… anything of yourself that is of value to you, important to you… with those who won’t...

On a couple of these vacation summers and weekends in between, I became well acquainted with Perfect Patty, a child of one of my family’s Polish friend’s. Perfect Patty’s mom who had been a Catholic had become “saved” and converted to being a Baptist. Perfect Patty...

I’m ok…but really I’m not. On the outside I seem fine, but the truth is I’m so very exhausted of it all. Religion. I’ve been “enlightened”. I’ve been exposed to reality. I’m deconstructing. But I still go to my Episcopal...

I ran 4 miles today and got passed by three young whipper snappers talking away like they were relaxing on a beach. I gave them a go though. I fantasized that they were just starting when I was just finishing. They passed me right when I returned to the bottom of my...

Please take a moment to read this. It’s about us. I chose this picture of me with this t-shirt because what I have to say is very complicated. But it’s very simple too. I want to thank all you TLSers for an incredible year. Well, it’s been over a...

I dutifully said my prayers (Our Father) before bed every night with my father standing by to supervise the proceedings. I don’t know why my dad posed me the way he did. The photo shown is not even a true re-enactment of the event. I did it on my knees on the floor,...

If you prefer to watch me read and expand on this letter, CLICK HERE! Good morning my friends! (I’m always aware when I say good morning that it might not be morning where you are or when you read this, but alas!) It’s a bright day and the snow is...

This is a photo of the frozen river in front of my house today. It’s a bright day. There are many degrees of white. If it was overcast and someone asked me what the color #1 was, I would have said white. If it was a bright day and there were no snowmobile trails...

A friend of mine posted this on FB. I wish more people could grasp this. Seeing it made me say “yes!”. Been thinking about this a lot lately. “Equal treatment” is not the same as “fair treatment” and is not in itself...

We pretty much have the new site up to where we want it. We might just try to improve the chat feature at this point. I would love it if more and more of you started posting some of your stuff here. I know Facebook is a great habit, but maybe we can start posting some...

I drew this chart this morning to try to roughly illustrate the two different ways we can view our journeys. The first way, the one on the left, is to believe that we are “all over the place”, wandering, lost, confused, indecisive, floundering. Those who...

When I started The Lasting Supper about a year and a half ago, the branding guy that came up with the name also came up with our motto or slogan: “Help Yourself!” It was perfect. And it still is. Why? For a few reasons: Regardless of what you’ve been...

I said I was going to do this yesterday, but I actually didn’t have time. I wasn’t feeling great and there was just too much else happening. So I’m posting it today. I mentioned on the Facebook group that I was taking a week to try to figure out...

This is something I notice about nearly everyone at The Lasting Supper. Let me compare you to pioneers. So I basically see three stages to what has happened or what is happening or what will happen to you: You realize you’re not happy where you are. You’re...

I find it is helpful and heart-enlarging to think about the people who have had important and positive influences on my life. I’m not talking about family or friends, but people who invested in me, mentored me, taught me… influenced me in such a way that...
