Lines in the sand

[Surfah]

After looking at some of the recent polls I am trying to see the utility in this exercise.

You should have made this a poll.

I think we have enough people on this board running back and forth over that line that I don't think that line will last very long.

It's a form of navel-gazing ((C) UD)

Let me help you, Surfah... One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, “You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”

The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”

I HATE that effing story/poem! I hate it almost as much as the story of the dude who got the wagon job after staying close to the side of the mountain as opposed to the edge. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

I'm curious as to why.

Do you hate the message?

Do you hate the style?

Do you hate the theme?

Do you just hate that it's become so cliché in Mormon culture?

(Note: I am no fan of the work either, but I don't have quite the guttural reaction of others.)
