JUDGE NOT

>

> 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 is 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!
