Our Father Chapter One

"Our Father which art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done
in earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, 
and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
The two sisters Mary and Elisabeth said 
the Lord's prayer every night.  On their 
knees, in unison, in the room of their father 
and pastor Zechariah Love Israel as he 
watched.  "Very good Mary and Elisabeth.  
Now get the Bible and read a verse".  The 
oldest sister Mary got the Bible off the 
nightstand and turned to Genesis chapter 
six.  "And it came to pass when men 
began to multiply on the face of the earth, 
and daughters were born unto them, that 
the sons of God saw the daughters of men 
that they were fair; and they took them 
wives of all which they chose".  Raising 
his hand for Mary to stop reading.  
Zechariah walked over and took the Bible 
out of her hand.  He then had the two 
sisters turn towards each other and 
undress each other.  "Daddy please not 
tonight.  Elisabeth and I don't feel well".  
"Now Mary you both know the Lord God 
will heal you through me".  The crimes and 
acts that Zechariah commited that night 
was unspeakable.  Ever morning Mary and 
Elisabeth would try to scrub the betrayal 
of their father off their flesh.  "Our dead 
mother must be crying her eyes out in 
heaven" Elisabeth said to Mary as they got 
ready for church.
