Hi guys. Today's Daily Toast is an announcement. We are busy working on the main TLS site. Major improvements are on the way! However, if you aren't a part of our secret Facebook group yet, please email me or message me on facebook. It's a fantastic way to meet other...

I claim that our unity is a reality. It is not a possibility. We are already connected, unified at a deeply fundamental level. What needs our participation and cooperation is the manifestation of this unity. The Lasting Supper, in my opinion, is becoming a place where...

As we become more spiritually independent it is also sometimes necessary to become more outspoken. I remember times in my life where I intentionally kept my mouth shut so as not to cause a stir. No harm done. Then there were times when I intentionally opened my mouth...
