On the last night of our Kids Crusade in Channelview, Texas we were privileged to meet Torie Halbert, contestant on HGTV's Season 4 Design Star. Last summer we had learned via facebook that Family Church member Torie was a contestant and could be seen on HGTV. We followed the series all summer and were excited to talk with her at the close of the service on Wednesday night. In conversation we learned that Torie had a live weekly segment on "Great Day Houston" on KHOU TV every Thursday morning that featured a monthly drawing for a $10,000 "Room Makeover " sponsored by Ashley Furniture and designed by Torie.
The next morning Marci, our daughter Amy, Patsy Hyman and her daughter Rachel Witt fought early morning Houston traffic to make their way to KHOU to be part of the live studio audience. Observing that the cameras panned the studio audience several times, Amy was excited about being on TV. That night, finding the program on the internet, we all watched as Marci, Patsy and Rachel were shown several times but Amy was nowhere to be seen. It seems that every time the cameras panned across the audience they always stopped just millimeters before reaching Amy. I guess Amy will have to wait for a next time to be a TV star.
