LIFEGUARD ON DUTY: Extending a Lifeline to the Lost

What does it really mean to save a life?At a lifeguard station by the sea, people come and go. Some are ready to serve. Some are searching for their place. Some have forgotten why they came in the first place.Through the story of Earnest-known to his friends as Ern-and the people he encounters, Lifeguard on Duty explores calling, responsibility, faith, and the value of every human life.Written as an allegory, this short Christian story invites readers to look beyond the visible world and ask deeper questions: What is my purpose? Am I ready when someone needs me? And what does it mean to live for something greater than myself?Simple enough to read in one sitting, yet filled with ideas worth returning to, Lifeguard on Duty is a story about people, choices, and a mission that cannot be ignored.The station is open. The sea is before us. And someone is waiting to be rescued.
