The foolishness of over-indulgence - King Ahasuerus (1:1)
The pursuit of comfort and what's-best-for-me - Mordecai (2:5)
The crisis of love and identity - Esther (2:7)
The bitterness of rage that flows from unforgiveness - Haman the Agagite (3:1)
The consequences of past choices - The Jews (3:13)
Or do I realize that GOD is forever faithful in the face of these failures!
