Inspiration 61

I took a few days off due to illness, but I'm baaaaaack!

¹⁸ Then Jeremiah said ... 'This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "You have obeyed the command of your forefather...and have followed all his instructions and have done everything he ordered." ¹⁹ Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "You (sic) shall never fail to have a descendant to serve me."' Jeremiah 35:16-9 (NIV)

Yes, I took a little liberty with the names in the passage, but I needed it to apply to the characters in the story. The Clan O'Rourke, though flawed and human, seeks to follow the Lord, and the Lord blesses them with descendents. They are much like my own family--scarred and scared. I can only pray that my offspring will also endeavor to follow the Lord.
