For the time is near.
[Revelation 1:3]
***********************
(Bob Martian comes over
to sit down beside his
friend, Blob. They're
both at the Martian Ball Park;
it's their day off, and
the Martian Phillies are playing.)
"Hey, BLOB?
Did you hear that Earth.....
was up for SALE,
NOW?"

"NEAH!
(Blob Martian's ears perk up.)
(He munches on some green
Martian peanuts.)
I didn't watch our
satillite NEWS, today!
What HAPPENED?"

"I DUNNO!
Somthin' about all
their STOCKS fallin'!
I guess they're lookin'
for somebody to buy
'em OUT!"

"Oh, REALLY?
Huh; what d'ya KNOW?
Ya think they're gonna
sell Earth...........
on EBAY?"

"I guess......HOW
much ya think they're
gonna ASK for it?"

"Heck; the whole
place is nothin' but
sin and SLIME!
(Blob grimmaces.)
I wouldn't
give one plumb
Martian...DIME..
for the PLACE!"
(Martian snort.)

"REALLY?
But......just look at
what our LORD
did!"

"Yeah.....HE
gave His LIFE
for those EARTH guys!"

"Yeah;
and, I hear MOST
of 'em don't even
REALIZE it!"

(Martian shake of the head.)
"Yeah;
what a SHAME."

(Both Martians nod.)
(Bob Martian sips on a glass
of green iced tea.)
(His friend,
Blob, has a green root beer.)

"Hey...ya think
we should TELL 'em?"

"What: about our LORD,
Christ JESUS?"

"Well...YEAH, Bob!
I mean......ya know:
what with their planet
gettin' SOLD, and all!
Those guys are in a
real, eh....Martian
PICKLE!"

(Blob picks up the green kosher hotdog
he just bought he just bought from
the ballpark vendor. He's wearing a
green Martian Phillies t-shirt.)
"Uh, uh.
They'd never believe us,
ANYWAY. Ya KNOW?"

(Bob Martian sighs.)
(He squeezes out some
relish on his green hamburger.)
"Yeah; I guess.
Anyhow.....it ain't gonna
be long, NOW."

(Blob burps.)
"Oh.
Ya MEAN........?."

"Uh, HUH!
I think the Lord's
going BACK there....
any DAY now!"

(Blob picks up his second
hotdog. Some green
ketchup drips onto his green
Phillies' t-shirt.)
"WHEN?"

(Bob shrugs.
His green Martian Phillies cap
tilts a bit downward.)
"SOON, I bet!
You can TELL!
Heck, the whole EARTH'S
fallin' APART!"

(Blob burps again.)
(He looks up, and
waves his hand at the
vendor, for some
green Martian popcorn.)
"YEAH!
I mean......it's even up
for SALE, now!
That's GOTTA be
a sign!"

"You BET, Blob!"

[SMILE.]
****************************
Surely
I am coming
soon.
[Revelation 22:20]
