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.
How we (the readers) kept track of this generation is beyond me, yet you made it simple! Ancestry.com has nothing on you! Love each and one of the characters that you created and physically, you matched them to a T!
