Can you help me determine if I should use "in line" or "on line" in a sentence?

Sure, I'd be happy to help! You should use "in line" when you're physically waiting for something, like "I am in line at the grocery store". This term paints the image of one standing in a queue. On the other hand, "on line" can refer to internet usage such as "I am online shopping at the moment". It suggests one is navigating the spider's web of the internet. So remember, "in line" for queues and "on line" for the web!
