This is a little embarrassing, but let me be honest. I remembered the story of Esther, but I had to go to Table of Contents in my Bible to find the Book of Esther. (It’s nine pages between Nehemiah and Job.) We are going to be living into the Book of Esther for all this month.
Today’s lesson from Esther, along with one of David’s psalms, form the biblical background for reflections on grief.
