FRONT-PORCH GOSPEL: The atheist’s surprising admission

  Part 1   Welcome to the “Front-Porch.” I would never have expected to read what I read.

OUT TO PASTOR: Does anybody ever grow up?

  In a few months, I will celebrate another birthday. This year, if I’ve kept up to date, I will celebrate my 75th birthday. I never expected to get this far along in life. I always thought 75 was old. If I believe one of my old uncles, my 75th birthday amounts to 7+5 = 12.

DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: I traveled to the moon a few weeks ago and just returned or was that green screen?

  This week I was thinking about reining in my woo woo just a little bit, but then I saw people making fun of the stories about the Artemis II mission to the moon or circling the moon or whatever the plot twist was last week.
