Putting makeover missions in perspective

The Editors

Some real goodness is emerging on TV reality shows these days. Stick with us. That wasn’t a misprint! 

What we mean to say is: There’s often some good in watching a house or restaurant restored to its former glory, harried parents being helped by an expert nanny who doles out equal parts verbal discipline and hugs, or a financially strapped career woman suddenly getting the donated wardrobe she needs. “Before” and “after” montages appeal to our desire to see results, and can hint at the beauty of divine Soul and at the orderliness of divine Principle.

The Christ is the true redeemer. The Christ is the influence that breaks through.
