Motel 6? Really?
Okay, so you’re a fire and brimstone preacher in Amarillo, Texas. I will admit that’s a hard sell because Amarillo, Texas, is where the devil spends his summers. That’s a true fact. Look it up.
The preacher
So, when you’re trying to scare people in Amarillo, Texas, odds are pretty good that you’re going to get bored. So, you find things to do.
A pastor at an Amarillo church could face up to six months in prison after getting caught with a prostitute in a Motel 6.
Now don’t judge Cameron Tate Reeves, the 34-year-old pastor at Hillside Christian Church, because he went to Hotel 6. The Hotel 6 is the garden spot of Amarillo, Texas. They even have a Presidential suite.
See? There’s the only 3 trees in Amarillo, Texas. The Hotel 6 and the Waffle House are historic landmarks in Amarillo, Texas.
Now, if you’re asking what the preacher was doing at the Hotel 6 with a prostitute, I have an answer for you. He was getting saved again again.
Jesus was saving him. Here’s what he told his church followers:
Reeves said it was Christ’s love that allowed him to be arrested, the Globe-News reported.
I’m sorry for wounding the heart of Christ … I want to be a faithful son,” the letter read, according to the Globe-News.
Reeves also admitted to having a pornography addiction for the last 25 years in the letter.
Jesus is so nice. I mean, you go out with a hooker and Jesus calls the police. You just gotta love Jesus for that.
BTW, Hillside Christian Church is a mega-church with “branches” in Texas and California. I think you can get a franchise.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Having only 3 trees makes Amarillo dogs very nervous.
1Love a mugshot. don’t you?
2I am always up for an interesting story, but this guy is way short of a full catch on the tuna boat.
3Well, at least Amarillo has lots of wind so it’s a good area for wind research. Maybe the preacher needed to go look at the windiest sites. He coulda taken his lady friend along.
4After looking at him, I feel sorry for the prostitute.
And after weeping and being “forgiven,” he’ll be even more popular.
Hang on– a porn addiction for 25 years, and he’s 34…? Okay, I don’t know any 9-year-old boys, but they seem unlikely porn consumers to me. Isn’t that still the “eeeuw, girls got cooties!” stage?
5PLEASSSSSEEEEEEEE FORGIVE ME!!!! FOR I HAVE SINNNNNNEEEEEDDDDDD AGAINST THOU MY LORDY!!!!! THESE FALSE PHARISEES ARE FULL OF CRAP!
6How does he know that Jesus wasn’t intervening on behalf of the prostitute? As I recall from the uncontestable Bible, Jesus was really protective of them, and reserved most of His Holy Ire for overtly religious hypocrites and moneychangers, known these days as Republicans.
As for Amarillo – come on! Cadillac Ranch! Palo Duro Canyon (we’re number 2!) The 72 oz challenge at the Big Texan Steak Ranch! A whole lot more for a high plains drifter to do there between bouts of drink and fornication. I learned to two-step in Amarillo, and spent a lot of time at a bar called the Crystal Pistol, where I found that grand tetons are NOT just in Wyoming. Okay, so technically that’s drink and fornication, but, hey! it’s Amarillo, the truck stop mecca of old route 66. It would have been rude not to.
7That ol’ Debbil runs a wintertime skating rink up there in Amarillo too, whooo is that place cold.
And summertime has the dangest thunderstorms ever, with the hellacious lightning taking down a few trees (there are actually quite a few trees around).
Preacher Reeves career is on the way now, can’t miss. Just look at how the famous Rev. John Hagee fooled around on his first wife. Then he expanded his flock into one of the biggest mega-church, political and financial empires anywhere.
8Reeves also admitted to having a pornography addiction for the last 25 years
It sure did take Jesus a while to convince him, didn’t it?
9He’s had a pornography addiction since he was 9 years old?????
10Corinne Sabo, the mere three trees don’t make the dogs in Amarillo nearly as nervous as the local clergy make them.
Micr, check out the dog houses in Amarillo. All the smart dogs have that mugshot posted for their safety.
11What did Admiral Byrd say when he reached the North Pole? “I’ll bet it’s cold in Amarillo today.”
12that’s because there aint nuthin between Amarillo and the North Pole but a bbobwar fense.
13I heard that a lot growing up just south of Lubbock. Never could figure out the physics, but it had to be some kind of space warp.
🙂
How could you not get caught fooling around in Amarillo? Everybody knows your car and the Motel 6 parking lot isn’t exactly hidden in a forest.
14Had a customer in Dumas so I flew SWA to Ama then drove to Dumas. I got the same room in the one Dumas hotel every time I went there for maybe a year. There was about 3 inches of space between the bottom of the door and the floor. In the gawdawful hot months sand blew under the door constantly. All my worldlies had a thin film of sand on them and sand in them. Then during Christmas New Years week there’d be snow and sleet blowing under that same door. I dont miss anything about the Panhandle/
15I think I’ve stayed in that motel. If it’s the one I’m thinking of, they have a small but very comfy hot tub.
Also we got our cat Amarillo at the SPCA there. She’s pretty cool (Maine Coon). She matches the song I used to have on a Pete Seegar album:
“Oh, you can give marriage a whirl
16If you’ve got some cash in your purse,
But don’t marry no one but a Texas girl
’cause no matter what happens —
she’s seen worse.”
I’m shocked at your comments about Amarillo. We have at least a half-dozen trees — and 10 Cadillacs buried nose-down in the ground. We’re the garden spot of the Panhandle!
17Pretty much confirms my low esteem for self-appointed preachers.
18Grew up in Amarillo and thereabouts. When I was nine in 1967, there were two hot subjects of discussion among boys my age: 1) Is pro rasslin’ real? I held it was not, but was shouted down by a group whose position was, Wynn Ramey’s dad is a referee, and he says it’s real, so there. 2) If you were a Playboy photographer but led an otherwise exemplary life, could you still go to Heaven? It was generally agreed that one could not expect to enjoy paradise in both this life and the next.
19At some point during the encounter he probably shouted the Lord’s name preceded by “Oh my ……”.
20Now that’s quite a coincidence for two of us Midwesterners. My wife and I stayed in Amarillo that very same night last Thursday on our way from Dallas to Santa Fe, but we picked a different motel about three miles west. Looks like we missed the fun of a police action! And – daChipster – we did take a spin through Palo Duro Canyon late in the day when the sun was low and the colors and shadows were intense. The preacher’s time would have been better spent out there, admiring Mother Nature rather than ogling ladies au natural.
21A porn addiction since age nine? Precocious little brat, wasn’t he?
22Hey Ted. I think the Cadillac burying guy was convicted as a pedophile. I was in Amarillo about 20 years ago, and they refused to let me seat at a restaurant because I am Mexican. After complaining about it, they told me I looked kind of White and let me sit as soon as I did not speak Spanish and be quite. BELIEVE IT OR NOT… I hope it is better than that now…
