Move That Bus!
"Extreme Makeover" cancelled by ABC after nine seasons
LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Sorry, fans of inspirational home-renovation stories: "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" is coming to an end.
ABC has decided to end the series' run after its ninth season wraps up in January. The show debuted in 2003 as a spin-off of "Extreme Makeover."
Its final episode -- the series' 200th -- will air on January 13, and will feature the team building seven homes in seven days for tornado victims in Joplin, Mo.
Luckily for the show's followers, the network will air special episodes of the series following the cancellation, though the network has announced no specific dates.
The handwriting had been on the tastefully-remodeled wall for some time. The show lost more than a third of its audience this season, thanks in part to a move to Friday. Between the start of the season and mid-November, it averaged a 1.5 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic. The 34.9 percent audience loss -- since the same period in 2010 -- made it No. 4 on TheWrap's list of the biggest ratings losers of the fall.
Meanwhile, host Ty Pennington has joined the cast of ABC's daytime talk offering "The Revolution," which premieres January 16.

Acts 2:41-47 (The Message)
41-42That day about three thousand took him at his word, were baptized and were signed up. They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles, the life together, the common meal, and the prayers.
43-45Everyone around was in awe—all those wonders and signs done through the apostles! And all the believers lived in a wonderful harmony, holding everything in common. They sold whatever they owned and pooled their resources so that each person's need was met.
46-47They followed a daily discipline of worship in the Temple followed by meals at home, every meal a celebration, exuberant and joyful, as they praised God. People in general liked what they saw. Every day their number grew as God added those who were saved.
What Does God's Story scripture Teach Us About a Rebuilding Lives?
While the impact on families over the last eight years through EMHE has been amazing, the impact because of an encounter with Jesus and His Church throughout history is even more extreme. In today's God's Story scripture we read how the early Church handled meeting the needs of one another in their community. Everyone pitched in! Perhaps there is someone in your community who could use a little surprise makeover of sorts?
How can I connect today's God's Story Scripture to My Life?
- Thank God for the makeover that has taken place in your life through your relationship with Him.
- Spend some time this weekend listening to God for how He might have you help others in your community.
How can I connect Today's Story, God's Story, and My Story with Others?
- Do you know a family in your community who would have been a good candidate for EMHE? Take some time today to pray for that family. While you may not be able to pull off a full Extreme Makeover, you can make a difference in some small way.
- Talk with your parents and church leaders about ways you might be able to help families throughout the whole year of 2012, not just a Christmas time.
- Perhaps you know someone whose story of meeting Jesus is a little more extreme than others. Talk with them or send them a message this weekend to encourage them in their journey with Jesus.
