Ask Joy: How to break it off?

My father helps me answer another “Ask Joy” question–off the cuff. This is a pretty broad question so it’s hard to be specific in an answer.  However, I think his overall challenge is very important and something our generation needs to do. We talk about community and living life together but I fear that often takes on the form of talking to people about our problems that are in our peer group…people who look, act and think like us.  I’m not saying they aren’t wise people, but often times it’s older people or people who have “gone before” who will look at an issue more objectively and hopefully ask us the hard and logical questions.

Take my father’s challenge and seek wise advice.  As he says, “You owe it to yourself.”

      Renea – Thanks. I think so too. He puts up with me. (-: p.s. Remember his intrigue with Project Runway?

      Oh my goodness; I forgot about that… “research.” PS. That deadpan at the end, “You are cheesy.” Hilarious!

      I’m married~ but I really liked the answer because it can apply to any relationship with others. Plus I think you and your dad are really precious~~ I love the picture of faith lived out in a family (we are first generation Christians and pretty much the ONLY ones in our extended family, so it is neat to see how our relationship with our grown kids can be!)

      Lindsey – So glad you enjoyed. My father was a first generation Christian as well so be encouraged…and know that the amazing friendship I have with my parents came later in life. When your kids are in middle school and high school…don’t fret…friendship will come later. (-:
