-John was at the volunteer pep rally last night for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition's Augusta project. The Diamond Lakes Community Center was packed with people eager to help out a family whose identity has even been revealed yet. The build will happen in 106 hours, from the time the old house is demolished to the time the family is handed the keys to the new home. Work goes on around the clock, so as you might imagine, a lot of volunteers are needed. Even if you don't have construction skills, there's a place for you. Sign up to volunteer at http://www.extrememakeoveraugusta.com/.
-Our movie guy, Bob Waliszewski from Focus on the Family, reviewed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and The Next Three Days this morning. He doesn't recommend either of them for family viewing but says there are some good family movies like Megamind and Secretariat that are still playing in theaters.
-Phyllis Kramer joined us from the Butterball Turkey Talk Line to provide some cooking help for Thanksgiving and shared some funny calls she's received on the job. Listen to our conversation:
Part 1 Part 2

Updates will be posted at http://www.bowensheart.com/.

Extreme Makeover filmed in Savannah this past week with the reveal being yesterday. It is so awesome to see so many people sacrificing their time and talents. It's heartwarming to say the least to see firsthand that their are still good people out there.
