Recently somebody a new won an award,

had new won an award.

It was a cool award.

I mean, the award was basically a Your Awesome Award. And I was there for the

award being given. I got to hear the whole speech and everything and it's kind of

wild that the one person who was omitted in this individual's

acceptance speech was himself. He thanked literally everybody else and deferred credit for everything and said things that really mostly were about expressing gratitude and about encouragement and

exhortation to anybody who was hearing the speech.

It was very, very well done.

Was super impressed and I was super proud of my friend.

And likewise here in the second half of Esther Chapter 9

we're getting the same kind of treatment from Mordecai and to Esther.

This summary, this roundup is all being written from the perspective of Mordecai and Esther,

or maybe secondhand from the perspective of Mordecai and Esther via what could be interpreted,

what could be gleaned from these two letters that they apparently sent out to

Jews all around the Akeminid, the Persian Empire.

And all of these letters and the authority of it was all coming from the right-hand

man of the king.

Remember, Mordecai took

Haimen's place so he's not just some guy trying to get people excited like

come on guys a celebrated thing

let's band together that's believe in our hearts and let's make this a new deal. Come on guys.
