Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted January 12, 2010 Members Posted January 12, 2010 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! ntmomitf Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
Woody Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Thanks Pam. Amen Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Members phkrause Posted January 12, 2010 Members Posted January 12, 2010 That was a great poem Pam. Where may I ask did you find that, or should I be asking, did you write this? pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted January 12, 2010 Author Members Posted January 12, 2010 No, I didn't write it...it came from my brother who got it from his associates at the conference where he works. :smile: Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup.

nuff sed Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 "When you get to heaven You will doubtless view People who will be A great surprise to you. Don't look around Don't even stare For doubtless there'll be People quite surprised To see YOU there!" anon......... Quote

Not knowing what it refers to, this is my best guess. ntmomitf= Not that my opinion makes it true facts. Am I close? JOY!! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
