Q is for .....

Quirinius. There was no choice really. What other Q is there? ( I am sure someone will come up with one.)
According to Wiki - Publius Sulpicius Quirinius (Greek Κυρήνιος - Kyrenios or Cyrenius, c. 51 BC – AD 21) was a Roman aristocrat. After the banishment of the ethnarch Herod Archelaus from the tetrarchy of Judea in AD 6, Quirinius was appointed legate governor of Syria, to which the province of Iudaea had been added for the purpose of a census.
However, I wonder if anyone much would have heard of him had he not been the governor at the time of the census that led to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, according to God's plan. Ponder this: he was an essential player in the foretold plan of God being fulfilled, but he did not know it.
