Sometimes God Does Give Do Overs

“When the book of Esther opens, Haman and Mordecai were already looking coldly at each other across the saloon, right hands twitching just above their holsters. Haman was an Agagite, a descendant of the Canaanite Agag, the king of the Amalekites, the king whom Samuel executed when Saul failed to. And Mordecai was a descendant of Kish, Saul’s father, a shirttail relative of the man who had negected to kill Agag” (5 Cities, p. 14).
