 BEST POEM IN THE WORLD

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake..

'And why's everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.'


JUDGE NOT.
Remember....Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more
than standing in your garage makes you a car .


Every saint has a PAST....
Every sinner has a FUTURE!



Live simply. Love seriously. Care deeply. Speak kindly and Leave the rest to GOD.

lol. I must tell you this joke. John the Baptist was transported by the Spirit to modern times where he arrived one Sunday morning. Passing by a Church, he heard the congregation singing and praising Jesus so he went inside. He was dressed in ragged hides, dirty sandals; his long hair and beard framing wild looking eyes. He interupted the preacher half way through the sermon walking in. All eyes turned to stare at him, some shaking their heads and snickering. After the sermon, the preacher walked back to John and said, " Did you look around you and see how the people in our church dress, how they are all clean and tidy and the men's beards and hair are neatly trimmed?" John said, " Yes, they all look rather nice." "So, the preacher continued, " I want to go and pray to the Lord and ask Him, before you come back to our church again, how you ought to come drtessed and in what spirit you ought to show up in, will you do that?" John said yes he would. Next Sunday rolled around and found John dressed exactly the same way, all alone in the last pew at the back. Halfway through this sermon the preacher couldn't take it. So he went back and asked John, " Didn't you say you would ask the Lord how you ought to come dressed to our church?" John replied, "Yes, and I did." The preacher was fuming! The preacher said mockingly, " Well, what did the Lord reply to you? John said," Jesus told me He didn't know what I should wear to your church because He Himself had never been here before."
