Ask Joy: Confronting Parents—Yay or Nay?

Screen shot 2013-10-24 at 2.58.57 PM

Question

Lately my siblings and I have really been feeling neglected and unloved by our parents. When we’ve asked other people whether or not to confront them about it, everyone has said, “No. You have to honor your parents.”

Can you confront your parents? Read more

Hey friendlings,

I’m really excited to share some words with you from my dear friend, Karyn. She worked at Imago Dei in Portland, and was one of the contributors at The Illumination Project filming last summer. Karyn wrote this piece about light for my church a while back—I hope it brings some illumination to your day as well. Read more

Got Nerves? The Psychology Behind Those First-date Jitters

Did you know that there’s a resource page on this here thing?? Well there is, and guess what? I like hearing from YOU…

This was submitted and I thought it was worth sharing—those of you who are dating can take stock of what’s going on in the brain train (and laugh at themselves), and you married folk can reminisce and remember what it was like when they hid knives behind their backs on the first date…

Ask Joy: Paralyzed by Parents’ Divorce

Screen Shot 2013-10-15 at 8.07.53 AM

Question

I’m writing on behalf of my sister. She’s been in a serious relationship for about a year, but she’s paralyzed by the fear of getting married as a result of growing up in a divorced home. What can I say to my sister to calm her down and help her overcome her anxiety?

Illumination Guest: Diane Paddison – When God Turns on the Light

Photo credit: Nate Grubbs

I was standing in line at the Portland Nursery in an attempt to plant a garden with my friends Lindsay and Julie. (And no, the garden was not a success—but we did find what appeared to be the bones of a cat when we were “tilling the soil.”)

Anywhooo… the man behind in line me asked me about the college sweatshirt I was wearing. One thing led to another and he said, “You have to meet me wife.”

alhambra

I’m excited for you to consume the following words and pictures from my sweet friend, Sarah. There are few settings in life where I am forced to contemplate life more than when traveling solo. I love the insights Sarah stumbled upon when she stepped foot into Spain.

Anybody up for a trip?

RSOTU: Fear Impacting Respect

Screen shot 2013-09-25 at 5.12.03 PM

A lot of you are just joining Love and Respect Now for the first time. To which I say, welcome! And also, I hope you like unicorns.

Even if you’re not new, I thought we would do a little flashback in case you missed this series I did answering questions on the topic of respect. This particular question deals with fearing the word respect—the series continues on to eventually be a conversation between me and a group of dudes talking…and not talking…for hours. (Name that movie.)

Formal Lunch: The Name’s Bond, James Bond.

Screen shot 2013-09-25 at 5.15.46 PM

Recently I was on Facebook and saw this post from my friend, Annie. It was the opposite of many people’s typical pet-peeve status updates.
