Mulligan

My Ben, Phillip, Dan, and friend, Rhett, 2006?
(That's a golf tee in Rhett's mouth, by the way.)

"But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over." (Jeremiah 18:4 NLT)

According to Wikipedia, "a mulligan is a second chance to perform an action, usually after the first chance went wrong. Its best-known meaning is in golf whereby a player is allowed to replay a stroke."

Because I believe it could be better, I'm calling a mulligan on Secret of Shiloh, my second storybook, and rewriting the manuscript.

Could areas of your life be better, beloved? Ask Jesus, the God of second, third, fourth...hundredth chances, for a mulligan. For He promises, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)
