FRONT-PORCH GOSPEL: The greatest answer

Good week to all. Welcome to the “front porch.” Let’s take a walk today with the Lord on the shores of Caesarea Philippi. He abruptly turns to his disciples and asks them whom men say he is. The Lord is well-known for getting right to the point, to cutting to the chase, as we say.

HOPE FOR TODAY: What’s happening with my adult kids?

“Pastor Miller, thanks for coming over on short notice. My wife and I appreciate it. We are at a loss and don’t know what to do with our son, Tom. We just can’t handle it anymore. He’s an adult and has been out on his own for a while.

OUT TO PASTOR: I sure do miss St. Sanity

The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and me recently celebrated our 48th wedding anniversary. It sure does not seem we have been married that long. I guess, as you get older, according to my grandmother, time goes faster. If that is true, I must be getting older.
