It's around 8 o'clock when she walks in and disturbs my Miami Vice marathon.
She's got that filthy look about her, clothes haven't been changed in days, a dark layer of dirt and god knows what else under her fingernails, clumpy hair and a real nice demeanor.
When you're that dirty and down and out, you gotta be nice.
She's here for her reservation.
Apparently Mark Mosier has just bought the hotel and paid all the taxes and now it's his. He gives her free rooms all the time.
I try to tell her that as far as I know somebody else owns the hotel. I try to explain the signature on my paycheck every two weeks belongs to somebody else. I've never heard of Mark Mosier and you'd think I'd be one of the first ones to know.
Well, that's fine, she says and continues to tell me that her daughter is staying here and she would like to know which room she's staying in.
We look up every single name she gives me. Her daughter has five different names. I ask her if she's Portuguese or Brazilian. She laughs. I laugh. I can't find anything that can collaborate her story. But still, I just smile and ask for Marks phone number. She doesn't have it.
She asks for some paper and tells me she wants to write a note to Mark Mosier. I give her a piece paper and she starts to doodle. She draws a sun with a smiley face and then signs it Paula and puts down 2 Thes 3:3 and then politely gets up and leaves.
Let's take a look at 2 Thessalonian 3:3 ~
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil.
Wasn't that nice of her. The Lord is Faithful and he keeps us from Evil and establishes us. Gotta love the Jesus Freaks. Long live God.
