what to do with mistakes

mistakes are

i don't have any photos of the lemon mistake
as it was a popular hit and people gobbled right up.
so here's a nice reminder of god's promises.
my niece snapped this pic from a parking lot in the spring.

inconvenient
embarrassing
costly
human
but they aren't all irredeemable
i recently ruined a lemon pound cake
it fell
it stuck
so, i made
lemon mistake - pronounced \mis-'tä-k\
(practice that pronunciation,
people, you will use this)
i pulled the cake apart
and
alternated layers of
cake
and
cream cheese icing,
creating the lovely, tasty, six-layer
lemon mistake
i can only redeem some of my mistakes
(i still don't know what to do
with burned popcorn)
but god?
he can redeem anything
and
he
wants
to

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

what about you? any great redemption stories from the kitchen? from life?
