Our Father Chapter Two
Ever morning Mary and Elizabeth 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. "I wonder what
his congregation would think of him if they knew?" replied
Mary. "Girls are the two of you ready yet? You don't have
time to gossip". "We're ready" said Mary. The Israel family
piled into their family car. As Zechariah drove to his church
The Voice of God Ministries he quizzed his daughters with
Bible questions. "Elisabeth how many books are in the Bible?"
"There are 66 books in the Bible". "Very good Elisabeth. Mary
who were the parents of John the Baptist?" "Zechariah and
Elisabeth". "Very good Mary". The Voice of God Ministries is
the biggest Evangelcial church in all of North Carolina. Every
time Zechariah Love Israel approached his church his heart
fills up with pride. "We are the light of the world. We must
guide the people to God" said Zechariah as the Israel family
got out of their family car. "Let's get ready to welcome our
members" grabbing Mary and Elisabeth by the hand Zechariah
and his daughters entered The Voice of God Ministries. Zechariah
was a preacher who was known for his over the top sermons.
With his knowledge of the Bible and his great speaking ability he
held his congregation in a trance. At the end of every worship service
Zechariah stood at the entrance of the church and shook hands with his members.
