It’s as if the Int’l House of Prayer had an intervention done from Trading Spaces… and the verdict is years away!

As a prayer junkie, and former prayer leader for several years (at a daughter HOP) until recently displaced, I was stoked when in January 2006 the IHOP began webcasting. Now I could plug back into prayer even though I was 2 hours away from any semblance of a prayer house. There was a nice, unobtrusive (albeit bland) backdrop that was incapable of detracting from the prayer and worship that was happening.

Enter GOD TV makeover this week. …So is the room Blue now? Or is it Orange? Come back, beloved Beige – martyred for the masses. I haven’t seen my favorite hue (vomit green) yet, but I suspect it comes out between 345-4:10 AM.

I remember life at a few church plants right before moving into that first building. Oh, how we were admonished against taking sides based upon opposing Interior Design doctrines that would, if not repented of, surely split the church.

Call it schadenfreude if you must, and I shall duly repent, but from reading several unofficial blogs, the trials of this makeover might begin to approach Biblical levels. I guess it’s refreshing that people aren’t that different even in a prayer community such as IHOP – this too shall pass.. next time you remodel the prayer room!

I’m sure I’ll get used to this eventually… good luck friends as you acclimate to the volitile hues of your new prayer room!
