I got this far...
"The Lord Jesus is going to ask each of us One Question and only One Question (holds up one finger for emphasis)...
(1) Did you believe that I loved you? (2) That I desired you? (3) That I waited for you day after day? (4) That I longed to hear the sound of your voice?"
Funny. Jesus may be the Lord of Creation, but apparently has a ...[text shortened]... OOMA videos. I'm sure you'll get the warm fuzzies after ingesting some of Rob's confection.

And how would your new life be?
Well, if there is an afterlife, and heaven, and all that, I just hope Isaac Newton and is fellows have overthrown all Gods. Newton knows I love Him. He would get a sweet spot for me.
