There are a couple of television shows that all four of us try to sit down and watch each week: American Idol and Extreme Makeover - Home Edition. This is a plug for the latter.
You know the premise for the show - a family has a home that's in bad need of repair, there's been a crisis within the family, so the Extreme Makeover crew comes to the rescue. In this week's episode a man who's a pastor dies from a massive heart attack on his 19th wedding anniversary, leaving behind a wife and 5 children. They moved out of the parsonage after several months into a couple of trailers because that's all they could afford. Cue the Extreme Makeover staff so they can make their magic happen.
The wife wanted to be able to continue some sort of ministry within the community. I won't give away the outcome, but a good friend of mine was contacted by a producer from the show and was asked to contribute some items to a special wing of the house. He was able to turn his part of the project around within about 72 hours.
So watch the show Sunday night at 6:00 CST. I think you'll be glad you did.....
