I want to write to you today about the three battlegrounds of deconstruction that you cannot surrender. (This reminds me of a totally unrelated story. Many years ago after we went through a horrendous church split, my wife went to see Francis Frangipane who authored...
Letter: Deep Thoughts a Honey Bee Evoked
Do you ever get the feeling your life is like the movie "The Matrix"? If you haven't seen The Matrix, it is about the true, real world versus the false, controlled world. The red or the blue pill. The challenging or the secure. You either live in one or the other. You...
Letter: How to Deconstruct with your Kids
Happy Easter my fellow TLSers! I'd been looking forward to working on this letter and sending it to you this morning. Many people have been asking me to write about this issue. Obviously it is an important one that occupies many of our minds and evokes concern in our...
Letter: Deconstruction and Moral Confusion
One of the things I experienced when I left the church was moral confusion. I think this is something to be expected during the deconstruction of our religion, beliefs or faith. Like I've said before, for the first year after leaving the ministry and the church I was...

Letter: Weylu’s, Farm Life, and the God Box
I got up early today to see Lisa off to work. The first thing I did was make myself a coffee. Then I turned on my stereo to listen to music. Then I sat down to draw my cartoon for the day. After Jesse got up I made us Mexican omelets. Then I took Abby for a walk. Now...
Letter: Being Asked Questions You Can’t or Don’t Want to Answer
I ran 8k (5 miles) today. As usual I meet cyclists. I don't understand them. I say hi to all of them, but maybe one out of ten will say hi back. We live in the Maritimes of Canada… one of the friendliest places in the world. Everybody says hi to everybody. Canadians...
Letter: Running, Bleeding, and Waterfalls
So Lisa got up at 5am to get ready to go to work. I finally dragged myself out of bed at 6am in time to see her off. I had a tall glass of water and an espresso, donned my running gear, and took off. I ran 17 kilometers, which is 10.5 miles. I did it in 105 minutes....
Letter: Living Where You Can’t Say No
Sit down. I went to church this morning. But listen… my friend who is a Soka Gakkai International Buddhist was speaking at the local Unitarian Universalist Church. She invited me to come. I'm trying to get her to join The Lasting Supper because she would love it and I...
Letter: My Mind is the Problem
Hi my friends. I'm going to expound upon this in a podcast I'm posting tomorrow, so don't worry if this doesn't feel full enough. I will hopefully fill in some gaps on the podcast. So a couple of weeks ago I sent out a letter with a one page summary of what I've...
