Sabbath Keeping


"I will lead blind Israel down a new path, 
guiding them along an unfamiliar way.
I will brighten the darkness before them
and smooth out the road ahead of them.
Yes, I will do these things;
I will not forsake them."

Chapter 1: 

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost...I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter 2:

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in this same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out. 

Chapter 3:

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in...it's a habit...but, my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately. 

Chapter 4:

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it. 

Chapter 5:

I walk down another street.


"Jesus answered and said unto them, 
"I am the way the truth and the life. 
No one comes to the Father except through me."

    I have posted it often on IGH.
    Thank you for including the author . . .
    I guess I needed to have looked that up.
    Always saw it as unknown . . .
