Say that title ten times fast. Ok, I just did…it’s actually not that hard. Instead of writing a blog post* I decided to make a list of the top posts from 2010. Thanks to Google Analytics and forcing my parents to tell me which post they liked the most, I present you with the following: TOP 10 OF 2010 #10 My Mom’s Favorite Post: “Jerk” #9 My Dad’s Favorite Post: “Emerson Interviews Joy” #8 Post Written with the Most Passion: “Swim Baby Swim” #7 Favorite …
Ask Joy If my husband views pornography, am I being stupid for trusting him? Can I separate trust from respect? My Response Question What are you thougths?
Ask Joy How do you get your 18 year-old son to see that committing himself to someone at his age is not a good idea. Also, how do you get him to see that going to the same college as her is an even worse idea? My son is a strong believer in Christ and God isn’t even on her radar. My Response Maybe your son isn’t a strong believer? Sometimes we can have rose-colored glasses about our own children. I would try and shift …
Ask Joy I just got out of a bad relationship and am afraid to date again due to the fact that I’m not a virgin anymore. I’m afraid that the next guy I meet won’t forgive me for my past mistakes. My Response Philippians 3:12-16 Paul reflecting on his life’s purpose even as a sinner: “Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I …
Those two things totally go together, huh? This blog is twofold since I just have so many things I like and want to share with the world. The first is a free album by a band called Strangers & Pilgrims. Emily Otteson, is a singer on the album who I had the pleasure of meeting a couple years ago. We were reconnected recently and she reminded me that I had lied to her and her friends and said my middle name was “Full.” I’ve been …
Ask Joy My boyfriend and I have been together for almost three years, and every single day, he and I argue. And we’re not even married yet. It’s now to the point where I don’t feel attracted to him anymore from all the arguing and I want to end the relationship. However, he still wants to work it out and believes we can make it through this. What should we do? My Response I first want to point out a comment that you and many …
Some of the guys from Rainbreak (check out their latest video with Channing Frye) were over at my apartment shooting a mockumentary for the Con Bro Chill music video. While they were there, I received an Ask Joy question regarding my Formal Lunch series. Since the camera was already rolling, I asked the boys to help me shoot a quick reply. “Decent blood pressure…” Everyone! Get involved. Have your own discussion on topics about relationships, God, sex and more. Let me know how it turns …
In this final video, we tie up the end of Part 4 & Part 5‘s discussion on sexuality and glorifying God (yes those two things go together) and wrap it up by putting Erin and Jenny on the market. Seriously. Also, while Walter and I do have very similar sounding voices, we are not technically related. He is only half German. Hope you enjoyed our discussion! I would love your continued comments on the discussion and stay tuned for next week when I let you …
