We Interrupt These Prayers

My second post for the night, but I just had to share this one with you. So it's 11:30 pm and I'm on my knees getting ready to say my nightly prayers. Opening my prayer book the reflection for the evening is titled, Dealing with Demons.

As I begin to bless myself, I hear the walls directly across from my hotel bed begin to moan, "yes, Yes, YES!". And then again, more yeses in a high voice, some whimpering sounds and then several loud YESES in a deeper voice. No no's.

Hey, I'm a human being, so my heart begins to quicken. What the heck is that I'm thinking when the other side of my brain says to me, "What, are you kidding, holy man?" Okay, so I know what it is, but she's been saying "yes" for an awful long time. Do you think it's real? Damn plastic cups, where is a good crystal glass when you need one?

Well, several more minutes of this am I'm playing out in my mind the kind of words a normal couple might exchange while in the sack. Things like, "if you have to" or "almost done?" I think some guy in Hollywood made up the "yes" dialogue as wishful thinking.

Right then and there I knew there weren't two people in room 114. Nope, some guy was going solo and watching porn. Talk about the image in your mind shifting quickly.

Anyhow, time to get back to my prayers. The friggin' devil is everywhere.
