About the Author
Dr. Todd Littleton, Pastor (Snow Hill Baptist Church, Tuttle, Oklahoma) - Something happened to that young pastor Snow Hill called in 1994. There was a time you could not get him off of a basketball court. Now, he would as soon be standing in a river fly fishing. The one thing that has remained constant is his commitment to be here. That is, though he is not from the Tri-City area, it is his home. He has been involved in a number of different community groups and events. Participating in the life of the community signals his understanding of the Incarnation - the coming in the flesh of Jesus, the Christ.

The mutual love and affection shared between pastor, including his family, and their church family has kept them confident here is the place to be.

They hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Esther is not about…
