Tootie quit the Catholic Church and used the money Mary Lou held back to start her own doctor practice. Dermatology. In the daytime she cures pimples on teenagers and at night she goes out with men and lives the fast life. Her looks are gone. She dresses wrong. She doesn’t know how to act right after all of those years in Africa. She comes on too independent. Maybe being around those lepers and those African drum dances put Satan in her life. Satan made her forget how Jesus sent an angel to save her from an elephant stampede and another time from getting shot by those rebels in Angola, or how He saved her from her snakebite. Satan is the prince of this world and his powers are strong. He prowls the earth like a hungry lion looking for souls to devour. He knows his days are short, and he’s trying to make hay and catch every sinner in his net of evil. I never thought he could get Tootie, though.
