Here, in Esther 7 we finally get back to the banquet little (actually second) that Esther is projected for the king and Haman to try to put this little favor, that he not destroy all the Jews. She plays her cards right and things did not look too good to Haman. It seems worse when the king comes into the room a little later and it seems that Haman take the queen. how to punish Haman? Ahh, yes ... he was building a gallows for Mordecai ... which will be perfect. things took a turn, did not they? Perhaps even upside down.Oh, and incidentally, still no mention of God. Where is God in all this? I am human. I am a mammal. I'ma mess. I am a minister. I am a son, husband, brother and father. I am a poet. I am a piece of work. I am an artist. I'm afraid of bees. I am an introvert. I'm off my best. I learned that life is more in questions than answers. I'm a fan of football and baseball. and the color orange. I'm an enigma at times. I am not always what I seem to be. I'm alive. I'm a confusing configuration of spirit and flesh. I'm good at spelling.I am intrigued by what most people think is garbage. I'm moved by juxtaposition. I am a child of God. I'm nothing without grace. I am capable of hurting the people i love. I am passionate. I am intense. I am happy to be. I'm thinking, and asking God to help my unbelief.
