Hi all.  I just got done reading the book of Esther in the Old Testament.  I was pleasantly surprised that a woman could do so much!  Women did not have any rights in the "old days" and even less influence.  Because Esther was queen, her husband- the king- took her seriously.  The king found out that Haman, part of his royal guard, planned to kill every Jewish person.  Esther did not want that to happen so she devised a scheme that worked.  Haman died and the Jews were safe.  All women should look to Esther for confidence, to do the right thing.  
Esther has given me confidence.  I thought about writing to Scott Walker, Milwaukee's County Executive.  He is doing a good job, except for the bus system.  He just eliminated 2 bus routes and I have thought about writing him a letter of complaint.  Esther gave me the confidence to write it.  I will pray that God speaks to Mr. Walker and changes his views.
