It's now my second fiction book and I've enjoyed it. Redeeming Love was amazing! Your blog is very encouraging. <BR/>LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582952546782012059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889693108618418753.post-25938528533293590042008-01-29T20:34:00.000-05:002008-01-29T20:34:00.000-05:00I like the book of Esther.

We didn't get into some of the adult issues here, but we did talk about the fact that Esther was chosen "for such a time as this." So God has put each one of us here "for such a time as this."<BR/><BR/>I don't remember the other points, but we did have a good time making wooden spoon puppets of Queen Esther and her court.<BR/><BR/>I also remember on the last day of the study, reading an overview and every time I mentioned Haman, the students would spit (act like it),and stomp their foot. I think that that is what the Jews do to this day at Purim.<BR/><BR/>I will be interested in reading more posts on this subject.Cherdecorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790199524063763787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889693108618418753.post-46631401674719121822008-01-29T17:23:00.000-05:002008-01-29T17:23:00.000-05:00I have always been interested in Esther too and wi...I have always been interested in Esther too and will have to read those books. Your questions are hard - If I was Vashti I wouldn't have wanted to come. I think in her time, it was considered much worse than it would be today. I think the wisemen may have been "yes men" and said to banish Vashti to make the King feel like he wasn't wrong to call for her.<BR/>As far as how we are today - I think we often don't give our husbands the respect and authority that they should have. The social pendulam has swung too far the other way.<BR/><BR/>I'll be interested to hear what others have to say!Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289456727508305342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889693108618418753.post-52149351667114100482008-01-29T09:33:00.000-05:002008-01-29T09:33:00.000-05:00That's so funny that you posted about this.

I've always thought she was fascinting and very brave.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350979855715095268noreply@blogger.com
