Briefing & Bloopers

Hey, Everybody!

I just wanted to let you know that Love and Respect NOW is going dark for the month of June.

Don’t fear; we’ll be back in July.

The reason for going dark is because we’re transforming the site to be less about me and more about us as a community. There will be all kinds of ways for you to help and get involved.

So even though there won’t be new blog posts during the month of June, there are still several things you can do to stay involved:

  • Join the conversations on Facebook and twitter; we’ll still be active there.
  • Read all of the old posts you haven’t read yet. (I guess if there’s one of you out there who claims to have read all my posts – and is not my mother – and can somehow prove it, I personally will pay for you to…well watch the video and you’ll find out.)
  • Pray for Love and Respect NOW. Please.

I want to leave you with a blooper reel of me, which I think is impossible because I really don’t make that many mistakes. #lie

      Too bad that you’ll be going dark for June. I will miss your posts. I find them very inspiring. Here in Germany, I often miss a religious community that I could tend to when I am in need for an advice about my life. Even though your posts are not about my personal questions, they are always food for thought, which is just what I need. I’m so glad I found this website 🙂

        @Saskia,
        in welchem Teil von Deutschland wohnst Du?

        Lg,

        Anna

          @AP, Hallo Anna, ich wohne in Hamburg. Bis vor zwei Jahren habe ich noch in Süddeutschland gewohnt. Dort war ich schön eingebunden in die Hochschulgemeinde meiner Uni. Hier allerdings ist mein Leben zur Zeit so hektisch, dass ich gar keine Zeit finde mich in die hiesige Hochschulgemeinde zu involvieren. Deshalb finde ich es um so schöner diese Webseite zu haben.

            @Saskia, Hamburg is wunderschoen, wir waren zwar nur 2 mal dort. Ich komm urspruenglich aus Obberbayern/Starnbergrsee, bin aber im Moment im Ausland.
            Kann ich nachvollziehen, das man so eine “Community” in Deutschland braucht.:)
            Ich hab gar nicht gewusst, das es Hochschulgemeinden gibt, gehoeren die zur bestimmten Konfession? Was studierst du denn?

        @Saskia, so glad to hear! And it looks like you found a German friend. I took two years of German in highschool because my last name is German. I fear all I can do now is count to ten in German. I love the country though and have visited Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin. Glad to have you on here!

      What a perfect month to go black; I leave on vacation tomorrow and because of the remoteness where my family lives I will have no internet connection. Perfect Timing Folks!

      My friend Emma Blackwell actually wants this tattoo… she’s taken it as a challenge to read all your posts. Which may actually be achieveable seeing as she’s stuck at home after surgery on her leg.

      • Emma Blackwell thinks...

        @Jacinta – I started that challenge…then I got distracted thinking about how to prove I’ve ready all of the posts when I started thinking about unicorns. They took me off on a tangent and now I’ve nearly finished making a unicorn onesie. Still don’t know what to do about the posts. I am thinking that I’m probably not helping my singleness situation by confessing about the unicorn onesie. But at least I’ll be warm! (it’s currently snowing).

        Love your work!! (…and unicorns)

        Emma

          @Emma Blackwell, Girl after my own heart. Sadly my onesie has baby lambs on it – You are far more hardcore than I am. Well done.

      Thought you might light this:

      Darren:
      I met an entrepreneur recently who met his dream girl online. She came from a very well-to-do Indian family. He wanted to ask her father for her hand in marriage.

      Wanting to ensure his success he didn’t just show up neatly dressed with an eloquent speech in hand.

      No he showed up with 500 of his guy friends at the doorstep of her father’s house all equipped with their speech about why he would be a great husband.

      Hey, sad to see the site go black when I only just found it. Looking forward to seeing the new changes though. Keep up the good work!

        @Josh, Glad to have you join the community. I’m sure there’s a few back-logged posts you could read and pretend they are new. Also – make sure to join our FB page as that’s still going strong. http://www.facebook.com/loveandrespectnow
