A friend sent me this written by his son.
The Line in The Sand
by David Sakowski, age 15
The swords have been drawn, There's a line in the sand, Now is the time to decide.
For which side do I stand? The devil with all his cunning, guile, and lies, Lurks to one side and awaits my choice. Do I go with the world and join his ranks?
But, alas, from the other side there came a voice! A voice of holiness, A voice of pure light, A voice that says "I will help you in your plight! I looked and saw, While the devil shouted, "No!" The splendor of a being, with a face that's aglow!
I cried, "Who am I to stand before you?" I fell to my knees and wept with remorse.
But the being said, "Rise, I mean you no harm, I sent my Son to die for the worst of the worst."
I stood up and looked into his eyes. I did not gaze in fear nor did I flee. He looked down with a smile on his face. I lifted my hands and said, "Please, help me." So he took me with his hand, His strong and mighty hand. And on that fateful day, I crossed the line in the sand.
Thanks for posting this Dave!
