As the long minutes went on and everyone proce...sed what had happened and the lack of any ramifications, there was a moaning sound from the men and women gathered and even from a few priests. Other priests began to look concerned.

What he didn’t tell them was that he was going to encourage them both to keep going by running behind them with a paddle in each hand and he would deliver a swat any time he thought they needed some motivation.Both girl’s.
