  “It seems I have a busy calendar today,” Pastor Norwalk said to Qu as he sat down in a chair in the pastor’s office.

  “Huh?”

  “Never mind, what can I do for you young man?”

  “Then you have your answer Aquarian, and you know what you have to do. Now let’s pray for your strength and the Lord’s guidance.”
