Harvest Moon
Daily writing prompt
How much would you pay to go to the moon?

Come a little bit closer – Hear what I have to say

I never really understood the hype about going to the Moon. Sure, it was cool to watch the astronauts on TV (📺),


Reaching the Moon: Cool, but Overrated.

… but once that was over, I just wanted to go outside and play fast pitch (⚾️), ball of the wall, kick the can, or 1, 2, 3, red light (🚦).


Kids today have no clue how much fun we had playing outside back in the day.

I don’t feel any excitement or thrill about going to the moon. For me, the real adventure is a round trip to Ireland (🇮🇪☘️),


Bucket List Trip 1

Hawaii (🌴🌺),


Bucket List Trip 2

or even the North Pole 🥶😱.


Not 🤷 on my Bucket List 🥶

I’ve got a few things or two to say to that “Fat Man in Red Pajams(🎅) about skimping out on some Christmas gifts (😠)!


I think I made the Naughty List again.

Returning to the question of the day: how much would I spend on a trip to the Moon? “I wouldn’t spend any money to go to the moon. I already trust God to take me to new heights—no rocket required!”


Faith Over Flight.

      Why did you leave out Hawaii 🤣😂🌺🌴🏝️🏄🏼🌊 ?

      We are definitely long over due of a road trip or vacation. And NO, we are not going to the North pole 🥶😱

    You guys will love Ireland!! It’s so beautiful. 🇮🇪 if you ever need any suggestions, I’ve been there twice. Lots of beautiful ancient ruins and spiritual places like Glendalough and I even got a chance to see a service at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. A lovely time it was.

    Great answer, as well!

      What? No way! I’m not your fan anymore😂.
      I’ve always wanted to visit Ireland; it’s been on my bucket list or fantasy list forever. I know it might never happen, but I’m holding onto that dream.
      Hawaii 🌴 and Italy 🇮🇹 are also on my list.
      The North Pole 🥶? Definitely not for me 😂.

      Thank you so much for Reading, Sharing your Thoughts, and offering suggestions for our potential trip to Ireland. It won’t happen but it’s ok to fantasize.

        Awww hey you never know! 🙁 and of course, it’s great to dream! It’s not as expensive as some places. I’d venture to say Hawaii and Italy may be more expensive. But it’s been a while since I’ve looked at flights.

        Anyways, it was still a beautiful answer 😊 🙏

    I’m with you. I wouldn’t spend any money to go to the moon. I would, however, love a trip to Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England. Also, there’s a pretty good old Christian rock song by Geoff Moore and the Distance, called “Go To the Moon.” Maybe look it up and give it a listen.

      Sweet! Thanks for Sharing the song. I was looking for a Christian song about the Moon 🌙, and when I came across “Harvest Moon,” I thought it would be a perfect title for this prompt and a fitting song.

      Thank you, Brother, for the Visit, Read, and Comment.
      I really think we should plan a trip to Ireland 🇮🇪☘️—it’s definitely calling our name, 🤗🇮🇪☘️.

      Be Blessed and Continue to be a Blessing.

    Amen brother! God has already taken us to new heights! Paying to go to the moon! Incredible that such a question would even be asked… The Book of Revelation 12:1 tells us that, “…there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.” No one steps on the moon…

      Thank you for Reading and Commenting. It’s absurd that some people are spending so much to travel to outer space while many are struggling to make ends meet. And then FacePress asks a question like this. No thanks, I’d rather spend my money on food, bills, and if there’s anything left over, maybe a short trip.

    Awesome bro, You rocked this one ! The Santa picture is cool and #1,3,4 really came out sharp. Neil is perfect for this post too. The reference to Rev:12:1 has me thinking, Is the Lord a woman and we got it wrong all the years? Women show more compassion than men, love children more openly and bless us with life. Just my curious mind wandering. Have a great day Willie!

      Thank you so much, Brother for Reading and Commenting. It really means a lot to me that you enjoyed the post. It was such a fun prompt, and your support played a big role in that. As I commented in your post, I felt compelled to share this here. I’m glad you liked the pictures. I have to admit, the one of the dad drinking beer while watching TV with his son almost brought me to tears, as it reminded me of my dad. The “Pride” on his shirt represented a company he worked for over 20 years.

      As far as Revelations 12:1, the passage signifies Hope, struggle, and divine protection amid adversity, highlighting the cosmic battle between good and evil. The imagery evokes themes of triumph and the fulfillment of God’s promises. I love that you put this verse out there. Thank you Brother for being such an amazing person, friend and Brother. You Are Loved.

    Well said, my friend! Regarding your bucket list, you’ll not regret those trips, if you so choose to take them. I’ve been to both Ireland, and Hawaii… and the northern most part of Alaska, so that was cold enough for me… hugs

      Thank you so much for Reading and Commenting. I truly appreciate your encouragement. It sounds like you’ve had some incredible adventures. The only time we’ve flown out of the US was to Puerto Rico 20 years ago. My wife, Frances, is Irish, and Ireland has always been on our bucket list; not just because of her heritage, but because it’s always captivated us through movies and pictures. And as for Hawaii, who wouldn’t want to visit such a beautiful and remarkable place?

    😁🚀Well, I’ve never been to the moon either, and I don’t even know if I would pay to go to a place where I don’t even know what awaits me lol. I prefer to travel to the moon in lucid dreams, even astral travel lol. You’re right, traveling within planet Earth is more viable lol, for now. When trips to the moon and other planets are free, I will go, without a doubt lol.🚀🌕✨😁

I’m Willie

Hello and Welcome to my Website.
My name is William Torres, but my family and friends call me Willie. It is a pleasure to be here with you today, and I am excited to share my faith journey with you.

My journey has been amazing and fulfilling as a new Christian. I have seen God work in my life in ways I never could have imagined. I have grown closer to my faith and have seen Him work in my life and the lives of those around me. I am truly blessed to call myself a Christian, and I am excited to continue to grow in my faith.

I believe that I have come a long way in life. Over the years, I have worked hard to become a better man, husband to Frances Torres, and father to our children. I have strived to be a good friend and companion to those I have been fortunate to build relationships with. I have learned to appreciate the small moments of joy and fulfillment that come with every human connection.

I began writing stories that I believe were inspired by the Holy Spirit. These stories are my testimonies about the different trials I have gone through, and how the Lord has helped me to overcome them. Through this process, I’ve discovered that I can forgive those I once vowed to never forgive, and in turn, my relationships with them have been restored. They are now a huge blessing and a special part of my life.

I hope that through my writing I can be a source of encouragement to other people in their faith and relationship with the Lord. I pray that those who read my words will be blessed by the Lord and find strength and comfort in His Word.

To be honest, I have had to come to terms with the fact that I am not perfect, but it is in this place of acceptance that I am able to truly worship a God who is. His infinite love brings me joy, strength, and peace, and I am thankful for the privilege of being able to serve Him.

I have also started a Social Media Ministry on Facebook, which I invite you to visit here. Being Crazy For Christ is a platform where I share my journey of faith, and I am also on YouTube – Willie Torres Jr. and I am excited to see all that God will do through it.

This is my hope, and I’m so thankful for it. I’m thankful for the love of Jesus, and I’m thankful for the chance to grow in Him together with you.

You Are Loved

Willie Torres Jr.
