a moment

it takes a moment to change the course of one's life.

a moment to say yes, a moment to say no.

a cup of coffee with a friend.

a date.
a second date.
a marriage proposal.

a new job.
a promotion.
or not.

cheating on a test.
looking at another man's wife.
a yes. or a no.

the promise of love.
the "i miss you too".

Jesus' death on the cross for you

a yes.
or a no.

and eternity at stake, in nothing but
the power of a moment.
