At least God knows what He’s doing… Part 3

The following is part 3 of a 5 part series. Go here for Part 1

I sat down in a comfortable oversized plush seat. Enjoying the wonderful smell of fresh espresso and pastries, I leaned back and opened up my book for what I thought would be a nice extended reading period. But about one paragraph in, my phone began to ring. Looking at the caller ID, I didn’t recognize the phone number. I had an internal dilemma at this point…to answer or to not. Everything in me wanted to ignore it and just go back to my reading…but curiosity won out and I decided to answer.

“Hello this is Greg.” (my standard greeting for unknown numbers that might be from someone at UPS)
“Hello Mr. Qualls. This is _____ with Budget.”
“Yes”
“One of your coworkers was just here looking for his Bible.”
“Yes”
“Well we found his Bible but he said he had to leave or he was going to miss his flight. He left just 30 seconds ago and if he comes back right now he can get it. If not we can mail it back to him and charge it to your card.”
“Ohh ok. Well I’ll try calling him. If not I might just come and get it. Thank you.”
“Yes sir. Good bye.”
“Good bye.”

I tried calling Diego, but there was no answer on his phone. Having two hours until my flight was supposed to come and being really cheap, I decided I was going to have to break camp and go get Diego’s Bible. I needed the walk anyways and it would be a simple trip to the rental car desk and back.

But God had other plans.
