An Extreme Makeover!!

Jesus said that he had come to make all things new! He spoke of giving us a new heart!

I have gotten hooked on a TV Show called "Extreme Home Makeover!" I love to watch it online with my family. Why is it so addictive? Well, it is very emotional, I like that! It shows lots of people learning that it is important and exciting to give to others with no need to get something in return. It also shows the importance of community in some very powerful ways.

The idea for the show is simple: find a family in each of the 50 states who needs help with their home and their life situation. Then the ABC team of designers and local builders and tradesmen and average person volunteer to build the family a new home in one week. Along the way, special needs of all kinds get met and communities, not just this one family are changed forever.

I find it exciting, and challenging all at the same time! Isn't this what God has called all of us to do and be. Isn't he about doing an extreme make over in our hearts, lives, and priorities as we reach out to others in need.

When God shows up, as they say in the show, "The renovation starts Right Now!"

Peace,
