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: ex-pastor
Happy Easter Morning! The sun is shining. The ice has broken up in the river and the moving river shines with light. My mug is full of coffee. Lisa is getting the table ready for our Easter dinner. Our boys are still in bed (9am here) and our daughter is still at...
Letter: Humility, Honesty, and Harmony
Good morning my friends. I want to welcome the new members who have joined The Lasting Supper this week. Just to let you know, I send out a kind of "lap-letter" (from my laptop) every Sunday, just to keep in touch on a more personal level. This is that! I love hearing...
