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 parish because I love them and they love me....
i’m getting focused so get ready
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 year. But I'm writing...
there are many degrees of white
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 nor...
Equal =/= Fair
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 "fair" or "just". Equal treatment does not take...

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...
Your Journey and Mine: A Matter of Perspective
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 stick with...
The Lasting Supper is where you Help Yourself!
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 taught, the truth...
Trying to hang on
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 what was going on...
you all are pioneers
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 not...
rebelled or expelled
You're new wine. Many of the biblical characters stayed within an institution as long as they could until it could no longer contain them so that they either rebelled or were expelled. Abraham and his father's house. Moses and Egypt. Jeremiah and Israel. Jesus and the...
