These are dark and desperate times.  The Kingdom Of God is dying.  The earth is dying.  Despite all our efforts we cannot make people aware of what is happening.  The energy where we're living in Fargo, North Dakota, is running out.  Our financial resources are nearly drained, and we are beginning to have health problems.  There seems to be no hope.  We simply do not know what to do!

Speaker Gerald Polley has already gone to bed.  Speaker Linda Polley is just about to join him when the phone rings. "Hello.  I'm Rich Brown.  I work for a show produced here in Los Angeles called "Jimmy Kimmel, Live!"  I don't know if you've ever seen it.  Someone told us about a movie you've been in about your work with John Lennon and highly recommended we contact you about you and your husband being on our show.  Could you come to Los Angeles and do the show?  It's on ABC."  Linda answered "How would we get there? And Gerald has to work.  He wouldn't know if he could get time off."  Rich explained  "We would pay you for this, and cover all travel expenses and your hotel room.  We take care of people on our show very well!  I'm sure you would have a great time here."  Linda told Rich that she would tell Gerald about it tomorrow and see what he said, then asked him if he had an email address where she could send Gerald's answer.  Rich told Linda that he would call her back tomorrow afternoon.  He was new at ABC and hadn't gotten his email account fully set up yet.  But he would send her the address when it was ready.   For a few moments Gerald woke up and Linda told him what was happening.  He muttered "We can't go to Hollywood!  Jesus wouldn't allow it."  and went back to sleep.

In the morning before Gerald went to work Linda told him about everything Rich Brown had said on the phone.  Gerald said "When he calls back you'll have to tell him there's no way we can go to Hollywood.  We have too much to do here with the current crisis and also The Powers That Be in The Afterlife wouldn't want us to go.   There's no way!  Anyway, it's probably just another prank, somebody trying to get a laugh at our expense."  Gerald went to work and that afternoon Rich Brown called again.  Linda told him Gerald had said no, but Rich explained that they were really interested, and was there any possibility he would reconsider.  Linda said "Why don't you try to call him this afternoon.  Maybe if you talk to him."   

That evening when Gerald got home, Linda told him Rich wanted to call.  Gerald said "All right, I'll talk to him!"  Rich called later and explained that they really wanted to have them on the show.  Him and Gerald talked for some time.  Gerald was still reluctant to go.  But suddenly Jesus spoke to him and said "This may be very beneficial.  We may be able to use this opportunity to take my power into California.  This may be exactly the opportunity we need!  Tell them you will accept."  For a moment Gerald was dumbstruck but then informed Rich they would come.  Rich was delighted and asked if they could send a copy of the movie.  They only had one and they could not get to a Fed Ex office because they had no car.  But their friend Jesse, who lived in Bismarck, had a copy, and he could get to a Fed Ex office. They would have him send his copy if it would be returned. Rich assured it most certainly would be. It was decided that the trip would be made the next week.  Things in The Afterlife went into organized panic!

Gerald spoke to his boss telling him he would need Thursday and Friday off and explained why.  "You're kidding!" his boss said, "You mean it?"  "I'm serious!"  Gerald told him.  "Unless this turns out to be some kind of gigantic prank they really want us to come.  I know it's awful short notice but I'd appreciate it."  "Well, I wouldn't keep you from that!"  his boss told him "it's what you've been working for for years.  Don't worry about it.  We'll cover for you.  Go!"  Gerald called Linda and told her it was set.  They would be able to go.  Things were beginning to come together.  That night Linda got Rich Brown's email address and also his assistant's Tara Varilek, and emails started to fly back and forth.  Rich called Linda several times, having her sing some of John's new songs.  They seemed to be having trouble deciding on which one for them to sing on the show.

 It was arranged for some people from the local ABC station to come over and do some video on us to be used in the intro to the show.  They were nice people and it was fun.  They really got a kick out of working with us.  It was finally decided that we would do the song "Whacko, The Clown".  Of course it was one we weren't too familiar with.  But it was one that would be acceptable on a program that children might be watching.  Jesus and Mary Magdalene were preparing for the departure.  They intended to take the great surplus of energy from The Afterlife with them to California and distribute it there.  On the video we sang "I Won't Bite That Bat!"  and, "Whacko The Clown."

Got up early and got ready.  A nice mini van  limo picked us up and took us to the airport.  If it hadn't been for our neighbors we would've never made it!  They loaned us a suitcase and helped us get some provisions together, ran us all over.  But we made it!  Had a little trouble with security because Linda only had her old Maine driver's license.  But we got on the plane and headed for Denver.  What a place that airport is!  Got lost, but made it to our transfer, though Gerald's legs were really bothering him. Somebody had bumped us up to first class.  Never found out who, but bless them!   Arrived in LA and were picked up by a limo and were taken to the Roosevelt Hotel.  It was incredible!  We got settled in, rested a little, and got ready to go.  Still couldn't believe we were doing this thing!
