“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?”
“Um. I have a confession to make, and a question to ask you. I really need your guidance.”
“OK”
“I think I’m in love and though this should be a great thing, I’m not sure what to do about it.”
“Have you approached this young woman about how you feel?”
“No, and that’s the problem. I am so close to this person, and she is going through some things that I think will make it very hard for her to accept this from me.”

“I think what it comes down to is that you have to figure out if it’s worth possibly losing your friendship to you to tell her, or not.”
“What do you mean?”
“Either you’re willing to risk it all and confess your love, or you’re willing to watch her eventually fall in love with someone else.”
“NO WAY. I’ve been down that road. Granted Malcolm turned out to be a jerk, but I didn’t know that from jump and it killed me to watch her with him.”
“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.”
At Least I’ll Be to Die For
