Esther's Perspective
Welcome to my happy place
where I take up my pen and
write from my perspective
about life, love, and
relationships.
Life is a gift, through which we experience the beauty of love and relationship.
Only love doesn’t always look like what we thought it would.
Relationships aren’t as simple as we thought they would be.
Sometimes we make things worse instead of better.
Then Jesus steps into our mess, and with a smile, he invites us to follow him.
He offers authentic love and a lasting relationship.
And in that, we experience true life.
This, my friend, is what I love to write about.

A master storyteller, Mel’s laughter and light-hearted teasing served as a palatable medicine for his family. His unerring sense of humor eased them through the difficulty of financial insecurity, soothed the heartache of the valley of death, and brightened the highs and lows of ordinary days.
Underneath her father’s jolly exterior, however, beat a heart determined to fulfill the command of Christ to “love your neighbor as yourself.” This commitment called for a personal sacrifice, one that stretched his faith and shaped his character.
It also led him to people and places he’d never imagined! From fish bones and unreliable guest beds to pranksters in the morgue and mountain slides in the Middle East, Mel will testify that living for God and your neighbor is anything but dull!
