THE MULLIGAN
Did you know… that of the fifty states in the US only fourteen contain an “M”? Did you know that more than twice that contain an “N”? Actually, those that contain an “N” are 33. Most people can’t name all fifty states in less than three minutes from memory. So to limit it to just those that contain “N’s” or “M’s” would be down-right impossible to do – name just the states that contain a “N” from memory in less than three minutes. NO CHEATING!
2006 is drawing to a close and with two a half weeks to go, I say “se la vee.” It has been a memorable year, to say the least, but to call a mulligan? NO! Wouldn’t it be great that mulligan’s applied to other areas instead of just kids play? A kid hits a ball in a tree – it’s a MULLIGAN!!! You walk to school with homework done but still at home – MULLINGAN!!! You’re talking to your boss and something just comes out wrong and its like you spilled boiling coffee of everyone’s eyeballs – MULLIGAN!!! Of course, mulligan is another way of saying “do over”, but it’s still the same thing. But did you know that mulligan’s don’t come anywhere near as often as they do when you are a child? Don’t get me wrong, I have a loving and generous bunch of friends and family, but I sit back and look at situations of others and hear stories of other people and you hear them cry “mulligan” and yet nothing is happening for them.
Proverbs 23:6-8
Do not eat the food of a stingy man, do not crave his delicacies; for he is the kind of man who is always thinking about the cost. "Eat and drink," he says to you, but his heart is not with you. You will vomit up the little you have eaten and will have wasted your compliments.
Proverbs 25:14-17
Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of gifts he does not give. Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone. If you find honey, eat just enough - too much of it, and you will vomit. Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house - too much of you, and he will hate you.
Proverbs 26:11-12
As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly. Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
