This week’s episode brings our second season of The Road to Somewhere to a close. After a summer break we will launch into Season Three, which will take us across thirteen short miles of Route 66 as it cuts the corner of Kansas. In today’s episode John and Joy head toward the state line that separates Missouri from Kansas. They are pleasantly surprised that the state line seems to run right through a saloon and restaurant called “Hogs and Hot Rods.” It doesn’t look like much, but on any give afternoon the parking lot might be filled with motorcycles and vintage autos heading down Route 66. This last stop in Missouri corresponds to the book of Esther, the last of the historical books of the Old Testament. In the episode you will learn how the chronology of Esther actually fits right in between Ezra and Nehemiah. Since Ezra and Nehemiah were originally one book, Esther was tacked on after them. The story of Esther is one of the best in the Bible. It has it all: heroes and villains, plots and counter plots, smart women and really wicked men. The links to both the episode and the video on Esther are below.
