David and Anna Klein have quite a journey together. They met in Oklahoma as Anna came from Japan to go to college. They married and settled into New York City, where employment and housing came miraculously together. They then moved to Long Beach, where again employment came for David (a teacher) despite a teacher surplus. Many churches, many cities, but an enduring love for each other, their three kids, and their God.

Cork and Pastor Dave discuss the book of Esther and asking the question: "Did Mordecai (Esther's uncle) think everything through when he decided not to bow down to Haman, the political egomaniac who hated the Jews. As a result of this act, Mordecai put his people in jeopardy. As God would have it, of course, his niece Esther helped correct the situation. It's a gripping movie-ready story with a beautiful ending for God's people.

But could all of this have been avoided? It's a great discussion.
