"The Detour" . . . Part Two

Now i'm really not that brave,
though i have been called crazy, and i know
i didn't hear God tell me to go, but i really thought
it was the most loving "christian" thing to do.
So there i was, driving around, trying
to find this trailer, without a clue as to where i was going.
All of a sudden i'm approaching this popular stripper club
when i hear a voice tell me to "pull in" .
"Get Behind Me Satan" was my first response,
but after being told again, i recognized the "still small voice"
and pulled in, paid the ten dollar cover charge and walked in.

Well i'll tell ya, it had been a while since i was in a place like that,
and was amazed at all the ingenius ways
they came up with to do shots, The Three B's
(Boobies, Belly Buttons and Booty) not to mention
the lack of talent for dancing,
though i'm sure the other patron's could have cared less.
When up walks this beautiful, but sad looking waitress
and startles me with,
"You don't look like you belong here" !
"Thanks a lot" i replied, "but as weird as it may sound,
i believe God wants me here".

She looked so stunned, i thought i had hit her in the head with a bottle.
"Nikki" was in tears by the time she was able to tell me that
she was just praying that God would somehow comfort her
and explain Himself and Life to her.
She told me her "life story" and we spent the next three hours
talking about God and Life, all under the threat of her
getting fired and me being thrown out.
After a brief prayer and a warm hug, i left, not ashamed of being there
or sorry i missed the "Show" !

Driving home, i asked God about Pete and His family ...
"thom", He said, "some choose paradise, and some choose the desert,
I can only Heal by their "choice" not Mine, so keep on praying for them,
but thanks for helping Me with Nikki".
i said, "No LORD, Thank You" . . .
