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!
