A friend had sent this poem to me and I thought of sharing it with you
all. I have made some changes at the end of this post.
I was shocked, confused,
bewildered,
As I entered Heaven’s door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its décor.
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.
Bob, 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 mistake.
And why is everyone so quite,
So somber – give me a clue.”
“ Hush child” He said,
“They’ re all in shock.
No one thought they would be
seeing you.”
JUDGE NOT
Every Saint has a PAST,
Every Sinner has a FUTURE.
Remember …….. Just by going to religious places doesn’t make you pious
any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

Leave alone Heaven, in earth itself we have sinners, crooks, rapist, swindlers, all living pretty well, and we see good people suffering forever.
I think we have lived long under the false thought which has been drummed in us that we should think good , speak good , hear good and be good. God too has changed and has become as corrupt as the worst corrupt.
Whoah.. I wonder just who Rama Ananth's God is. And what could be his own thoughts on reading Rama's comment there.
Anyway, that's a good post, Jack. Some enlightening insights may be derived from it.
You have said one: 'Every saint has a past; every sinner has a future'.
May God bless you with good health, peace, and love from family and good friends.
I loved the poem. We are so quick to judge and make our lives complicated in the process. Wish we could really live by practicing - Live and let live.
I think as a human being , we don't have right to Judge others. Noone is perfect ! Live Love Laugh !

Why so bitter? The world is full of all kinds of persons. We have to follow our conscience and beware of such persons. Take care
