TSK observations on Esther and mullets

you'll have to click the link to see the mullet tie-in...but this is some neat stuff

I count 7 parties in the book of Esther and we will look at all of them,
one by one. The Kingdom of God is, like the feast of Purim, a time for feasting,
joy, generosity and justice. I think it is also a time in this Post-christian
Europe for the church to act like Esther and not Queen Vashti. I have mentioned
this before a few
years ago
but will throw it out there again:
Vashti was the only wife.
Esther was one of the girls in the harem.
Vashti was a host. Esther was a
guest.
Vashti lived in safety. Esther lived in danger
Vashti thew a
private party for her selected friends. Esther threw a public celebration for
her people.
Vashti had luxury and ease. Esther fought for justice
Vashti
enjoyed privacy. Esther was on show.
Vashti gained privilege. Esther
developed beauty.
Vashti's parties never happened again. Esther's party
became a yearly festival.
Vashti had beauty. Esther had beauty and wise
guidance from a mentor.
Vashti could not enter the throne room without
invitation. Esther entered boldly and was received.
Vashti entertained her
friends. Esther saved her people.
