follow me where you’re going
I felt like giving you a gift today. Click on the image and you can download a high-resolution, print-ready copy of this painting. I call this "Follow Me Where You're Going". The original is still available. I love the painting because it makes me feel like I'm...
true pioneers
We have launched out on our own. But we miss the group. When the earliest Christians left the synagogue, they left en masse with some leadership who helped them organize and gather in homes. This was the beginning the the church. The Protestants left the church en...
rachel’s song about love with lyrics
Last week we had a Potluck with @Rachel and @Happy about "Spirituality and Love". How do we maintain our spiritual independence and find, change or keep our romantic relationships? It was a great chat with these two wonderful members of TLS. At the beginning of that...
not afraid to inspect the foundation
One of the greatest skills to develop is the ability to critique the systems we are a part of. It shows humility, honesty and wisdom to refuse to automatically accept as truth the norms we are given. There are many of you on The Lasting Supper who are developed in and...

We had our potluck last night with Phyllis Mathis. We had a good turnout. And there were others streaming the event as we went. Google changed some things last week and we started late because I had to get used to the new format. Plus I was abruptly kicked off after...

I received a letter from one of our members this week. This is the problem I love addressing. This is what TLS is all about. Even yesterday another member asked me basically the same question. So this reality is real. I'm just going to copy a part of her letter, used...
from all over the world we are the same
Jesus said that if we leave friends and family for his sake… which I believe means for the sake of truth… that we will be given much more in terms of friendship and family. This has been my experience. I have lost some friends and family, but I have gained so much...
you are free to come and go
A verse that always runs through my mind, like background music stuck on repeat, is when Jesus says, "I am the door; if anyone enters through me, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture" (John 10:9). I hear this as an invitation into absolutely...
don’t be so hard on yourself
Be gentle with yourself. Don't be so hard on yourself. Actually, I'm talking to me too. I had a few glasses of wine last night and ate some junk food. I woke up this morning disappointed in myself. Last Saturday I ran 10K, then 5K yesterday. I've been weight training...
