Extreme Makeover


Wow! This has been the week to be in Pekin, IL. Extreme Makeover Home Edition has been building a new home for the Grys family. One week, new home. All the whistles and bells to protect young Jake who breaks two to four bones per month. I have been down twice to check on progress and am heading back around midnight tonight to see what has been done. The Grys family returns home on Tuesday to a new house for a family that has taken in more than 200 foster children during their lives. This is a new life, new start, this program represents all the good we can accomplish if we work together for a common goal. Works in the secular world for EMHE, works in the Christian world. As children of Christ we need to be far less focused on denominational issues and more focused on Christ issues. What could we accomplish in a week? Anyone besides me ready for a makeover?
