I received a call from God, who informed me that my new home was ready and that I could move in immediately. You know that I have been packing up and getting ready to go, but some final touches had to be made. Well my new home is finished and it is such a beautiful sight. It is located in an exclusive estate and it sits behind the pearly gates. There is peace and joy and happiness here and I have no more pain. I could go on and on about my new house but I have to get fitted for my new robe. I look forward to seeing you again. Here is my new address: John McBride-Mackbrow 89 Jesus Way God’s Town, Heaven 11314 P.S. I don’t have a number right now – call on God.
