Gospel
If you confess
with your
mouth
the Lord Jesus
and believe
in your heart
that God
has raised Him
from the dead,
you will be
saved.
[Romans 10:9]

[LAUGH!]
[JOYFUL SMILE!]
"Yeah."
(Grimmace!)
"Yeah, he sure
liked to go ON...
and ON...
DIDN'T HE?"
[PATIENT NOD.]
[DELIGHTED SMILE!]
"Read It
to Me,
child."
(Whiny, nasal voice*.)
"The WHOLE THING?

Haven't You
tortured me,
ENOUGH,
for one LIFE?"
[LAUGHING.]
"Read It
to Me."
"Don't they
LET YOU,
have any BIBLES,

[LAUGHING!]
"Read
to Me,
My beloved."
(Grimmace!)
"But....I've

[SMILE!]
[NODDING.]
(Sad shake of the head.)
"I think these
Christians are
really confused,
Lord."
[SMILE!]
[CHUCKLING!]
(Whiny screech.)
"NOW,

me.....JESUS is LORD!"
[PATIENTLY LISTENING.]
[WATCH A DEER PATTER

IN THE TEXAS HILL COUNTRY.]
"But....

He's NOT GOD!"
(Squint upwards.)
(Popsicle dripping.)
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
(Loud, whiny voice.)
"Then.....
WHO'S GOD?"
[WATCH ANOTHER DEER

SCRUBBY TREE.]
[RUMBLE.]
[FIRM VOICE.]
"Me,

(Squint up at ceiling.)
(Bite into 2nd dripping
popsicle, over ceramic bowl.)
"Do YOU have
some kind 'a
PERSONALITY DISORDER?"
[CHUCKLING LOUDLY.]
"No.
No,
My beloved."
(Shake head, bewilderedly.)
"Are they MISHUGUNAH***?"
"Who,
child?"
"These FOLLOWERS,
of YOURS!"
(Gaze upwards, squinting.)
"Are they MISHUGUNAH?"
[PATIENT PAUSE.]
"You need to read
My Word,
child."
(Slurp on popsicle stick.)
"SURE!

[PATIENT SIGH.]
"Oy Vey."
(Shout to the ceiling.)
"YA WANT ME
