Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap.

Today we finished our 35th book of the Bible.

Yesterday when we left off, Esther had just thrown a feast for King A and Heyman and Heyman's

ego was soaring until he passed Mordecai who refused about him.

Over night, he built a gallows to hang Mordecai on.

This structure was more like a giant spike to impale a person on.

While Heyman's crew is working on the gallows, King A can't fall asleep.

Maybe all the chainsaws outside his window were keeping him awake, or maybe it's God's

Providence at work.

To combat his insomnia, he asked one of his staff to read him a bedtime story about everything

that's happened since he took office.

As they're scrolling through his time-op feed, he realizes that he never thanked that nice

man who saved his life.

But that divine oversight from four years ago was leading up to this very moment.

Just as it dawns on the King, Heyman walks in bright and early to ask for permission

to hang Mordecai.

But before he can get the question out, King A is like, suppose I wanted to honor someone.

What's the best way to do that?

expecting the King to honor him, of course.
