			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>His name is Bill.<br />
><br />
>                 He had wild hair, wore  a T-shirt with holes in it,  jeans, and no shoes.</p>
<p>>    This was literally his wardrobe for his entire four years of college.</p>
<p>>                 He was brilliant..Kind of profound and very, very bright..<br />
><br />
>                 He became a Christian while attending college.<br />
><br />
>    Across the street from the campus he attended was a &#8216;well-dressed&#8217;, very conservative church..<br />
><br />
>    They wanted to develop a ministry to the students  but were not sure how to go about it</p>
<p>>                 So they prayed.<br />
><br />
>    One day Bill decided to go there.<br />
><br />
>                 He walked in with no shoes, jeans, his T-shirt, and wild hair. The service had already started and so Bill started down the aisle looking for a seat.<br />
><br />
>    The church was completely packed and he could not find a seat.<br />
><br />
>                 By now,people were really looking a bit uncomfortable,  but no one said anything.<br />
><br />
>    Bill got closer and closer and closer to the pulpit, and when he realized there were no seats,  he just squatted down right on the carpet.<br />
><br />
>                 By now the people were really &#8216;uptight&#8217;,  and the tension in the air was thick.<br />
><br />
>    About this time,  the minister realized  that from way at the  back of the church,   a deacon was slowly making his way toward Bill&#8230;<br />
><br />
>    Now the deacon, in his eighties,  with silver-gray hair,  and a three-piece suit  was a godly man,  very elegant, very  dignified, very courtly.<br />
><br />
>                 He walked with a cane  and as he started walking toward this boy, everyone was saying to themselves,  &#8216;you can&#8217;t blame him for what he&#8217;s about to do.&#8217;<br />
><br />
>    How could anyone expect  a man of his age and of his background  to understand some college kid on the floor?<br />
><br />
>                 It took a long time for the man to reach the boy.<br />
><br />
>    The church was utterly  silent  except for the clicking of the man&#8217;s cane.<br />
><br />
>    All eyes were focused on him.<br />
><br />
>    You couldn&#8217;t even hear anyone breathing.<br />
><br />
>    The minister wouldn&#8217;t even begin preaching until the deacon &#8216;did  what he had to do.&#8217;<br />
><br />
>    And then they saw this elderly man drop his cane on the floor.  With great difficulty,  he lowered himself and sat down next to Bill  to worship with him so<br />
>    he wouldn&#8217;t be alone.<br />
><br />
>    Everyone choked up with emotion.<br />
><br />
>    When the minister gained control, he said, &#8216;What I&#8217;m about to preach, you will never remember.<br />
><br />
>    What you have just  seen, you will never forget.&#8217;<br />
><br />
>    &#8216;Be careful how you live. You  may be the only Bible some people will ever read!&#8217;<br />
><br />
>                 I asked the Lord to  bless you  As I prayed for you  today.<br />
><br />
>                 To guide you and protect you<br />
><br />
>                 As you go along your  way&#8230;..<br />
><br />
>    His love is always with you,<br />
>    His promises are true,<br />
>    And when we give Him  all our cares,<br />
>    You know He will see  us through.<br />
><br />
>    Only if you feel led  to, pass this to   People you want God to  Bless.<br />
><br />
>    &#8230;..I DID!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I was shocked, confused, bewildered<br />
 As I entered Heaven&#8217;s door,<br />
 Not by the beauty of it all,<br />
 Nor the lights or its decor.<br />
 But it was the folks in Heaven<br />
 Who made me sputter and gasp&#8211;<br />
 The thieves, the liars, the sinners,<br />
 The alcoholics and the trash.<br />
 There stood the kid from seventh grade<br />
 Who swiped my lunch money twice.<br />
 Next to him was my old neighbor<br />
  Who never said anything nice.<br />
 Herb, who I always thought<br />
 Was rotting away in hell,<br />
 Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,<br />
 Looking incredibly well.<br />
 I nudged Jesus, &#8216;What&#8217;s the deal?<br />
 I would love to hear Your take.<br />
 How&#8217;d all these sinners get up here?<br />
 God must&#8217;ve made a mistake.<br />
 &#8216;And why&#8217;s everyone so quiet,<br />
 So somber &#8211; give me a clue.&#8217;<br />
 &#8216;Hush, child,&#8217; He said, &#8216;they&#8217;re all in shock.<br />
 No one thought they&#8217;d be seeing you.&#8217;</p>
<p> JUDGE NOT!!</p>
<p> Remember&#8230;Just going to church doesn&#8217;t make you a<br />
 Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car ..</p>
