Hey Janae,
Your reaction to this text is so similar to mine! Just like you, I didn’t understand the connection between Jeremiah and Daniel and Esther before this reading. I think there’s something to be said for Sunday schools that only teach a single Bible snippit each Sunday, so that it can be hard for a child to gain a full picture of the story. I understand that it’s a small amount of time and that there are small minds listening, but I do wish there was a bigger emphasis on the entirety of the Bible when it was told to me in church as a kid. I also like your comments about praying to the Lord for the US. I hope that we can band together in prayer!
