Sunday Scripture

Esther 3:7-9

In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar. And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them. If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.

Favorite Book Friday

Hope for Christmas (Hope Ranch series book 1) by Elizabeth Maddrey contemporary Christian romance. I love her flawed Christian characters doing the best they know how, learning and growing in Christ and love.

Hope for Tomorrow (Hope Ranch series book 2) by Elizabeth Maddrey contemporary Christian romance. Skye, the heroine, and I have some uncomfortable commonalities. I love Elizabeth Maddrey's characters and storytelling. 

Hope for Love (Hope Ranch series book 3) by Elizabeth Maddrey contemporary Christian romance. Loved the newest release. Unfortunately, the next book isn't out until May! I hate waiting. :) 

Hope for Freedom (Hope Ranch series book 4) by Elizabeth Maddrey Christian romance. Imperfect Christians and those struggling to find Jesus people Elizabeth Maddrey's stories. She has a gift for storytelling. I have trouble putting her books down and look forward to the next.

Monday Quote

Oh God, here's my Bible, Here's my money. Here's me. Use me, God. 

I wasn't God's first choice for what I've done in China...I don't know who it was...it must have been a man...a well-educated man. I don't know what happened. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he wasn't willing...and God looked down...and saw Gladys Aylward...and God said, 'Well, she's willing.'

Sunday Scripture

Esther 3:4-6

Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew. And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul 

- and sings the tunes without the words - 

and never stops at all.

Sunday Scripture

Esther 3:1-3

After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him. And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence. Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?
