Repairs

I like the show Holmes on Homes on HGTV. It makes the DIY-er in me happy.

In the show, Mike Holmes, contractor extraordinaire, comes in and makes repairs to homes that look perfect from the outside but are complete messes on the inside. Usually another contractor has worked on the home prior to Holmes showing up and has not insulated enough or properly wired something or ran plumping correctly. Very bad stuff.

Sometimes I wish that there was a Mike Holmes for humans. If someone looks good on the outside, but there's a lot of problems or damage on the inside, call in the Holmes for Humans and every thing's fixed within a couple of weeks.

The thing about repairing a human is, it's usually a DIY project. A person can get help--from God, family, friends, therapist, etc.; but, until a person decides he or she needs and wants to be repaired, and is willing to put in the time (a lot more than a couple of weeks) and effort, nothing anyone else does will matter.

So, if you need a repair on your house, call Holmes. If you need a repair on yourself, look in the mirror.
