Harry Potter Inquiry

My daughter was one of those who stood in line to get a copy of the latest Harry Potter book. This incident happened there.



She entered with her pious look
And sized up the backed up lines
One by one she approached
The costumes and the signs.

“You here to buy the Harry Potter book?”
She asked with a very righteous sneer.
“Yes” was the enthusiastic reply
As they expected her to cheer.

She made her way through the long human lines
Asking the question almost with a yell.
With each affirmative answer
She said, “You are going to hell.”

Before she was ushered from the store
A person who had refused to budge
Said “I may see you there, my friend,
Because it’s also wrong to judge.”

Loved the last two lines!! Some people are so judgmental, but to go this far is really outrageous. I, for one, love the Harry Potter books. I've read all of them. I hope your daughter bought a copy and enjoyed it.
Hugs, Laura

Again no truer words are spoken. I guess I taught my children not to remark on people that aren't dressed as well as they are or the homeless etc. for I believe that Jesus walks among us to give us a chance to use our hearts and share our love. Thank you Larry for sharing this story.
