While I realize that this post is not my usual "rant," I thought that, for the 5 people who actually read this Blog, you might get a kick out of it. . .I received it today via email, and while I did laugh ("Truth is good for the soul but horrible for the reputation"~Mrs. Sharon), it gave me pause to think. . .I pray that this earthly life I live is such that, upon entry to Eternal Glory, the same is not said of me! Enjoy!
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 expected 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.
