He was very clean cut, maybe in his 30s. White button-down shirt, khaki pants. The kind of guy you would take home to your parents for dinner. He said that he was a visitor in town and needed some help. He\u2019d had eye surgery and couldn\u2019t find the address to the house of his best friend\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n<p>I let him finish his spiel and said, \u201cSorry, I can\u2019t help. I really have to go.\u201d But he followed me. He repeated his story and walked with me across the street. He was very engaging, very persistent, very believable. He said he was staying at a hotel up the street and that there was a payphone we could use there. I decided to be a Good Samaritan and help him out.<\/p>\n<p>We get on the elevator at the hotel and he pushed the mezzanine level. The door opened and I expected it to be crowded. But it was deserted. Not a soul on the floor. We walked down a hallway and into a conference room. Sure enough, at the back of the conference room was a payphone with a phone book below it. I opened it up to look up the address. My back was to this man. Maybe it was logic finally catching up with me, but I felt this wave of terror come over me. I realized it was a trap. I\u2019d been lured into this room. I turned around. He knew that I knew\u2013he was waiting for that moment. He walked slowly toward me. His eyes were so dark, so cold. Evil incarnate. I couldn\u2019t move. I was stuck in this box of terror, all alone. No one would hear my screams in this remote corner of the hotel. My life was over.<\/p>\n<p>Just then, though, a scrawny bellman entered the room. He looked right at me and said, \u201cDon\u2019t you think you should be going now?\u201d I rushed toward the bellman and he escorted me down the hallway, leaving my captor behind. We got to the lobby and I was shaking. I turned around to thank the bellman for saving me. But he was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n<p>Fifteen years went by. I refused to admit there was anything miraculous about this incident, though I never forgot those cold, cruel eyes. I would wake up, heart pounding in the middle of the night thinking about them.<\/p>\n<p>One morning, my husband, Jim, turned to me and said, \u201cOh, my God, Katie, I think this is your guy.\u201d He handed me the front page of the newspaper, and there was a photo of murderer Ted Bundy, who\u2019d been executed the day before in Florida. I\u2019d recognize those eyes anywhere. It was the same guy who\u2019d lured me into the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a quote from author Leif Enger that really resonates with me: \u201cPeople fear miracles because they fear being changed&#8230;\u201d I did fear changing, opening myself up to God. So I ignored the miracle of the bellman swooping in to save me. I wasn\u2019t willing to see it until all those years later. In some weird way, it had to have been Ted Bundy in order for me to acknowledge God working in my life. That day, my spiritual metamorphosis began.<\/p>\n<p>We all respond to different languages, different nudges from God. For me, it took a 2&#215;4 over the head to wake me up.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have you ever received a 2&#215;4 over the head from God?
