Christmas Wishes and Musical Gifts

Dearest Friends, Fawns and Christmas Elves,

A little video announcement for the Christmas and New Year season.

But first I wanted to write a special thanks to those of you who are continually encouraging me and my work.

The movement of understanding Love and Respect cannot happen without us joining together and having belief and hope for successful marriages and relationships. Even with stories of heartache and “hope-less” situations, your stories of belief and encouragement are life-giving to me. So I just wanted to say…

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

I am so excited to see what this next year will hold. God is always up to something.

As I mentioned in the video, we’ll still be active during December and January on:

  • Facebook; click the “like” button in the upper, right corner of my site to get updates
  • Facebook Fridays; click HERE
  • Twitter; follow Love and Respect NOW HERE and me HERE
  • Note: If you don’t have a Facebook account, then I commend you…and think you’re kinda weird. Hoping you at least have an email address, which you can submit in the “subscribe” section on the right hand side of the site for blog updates.

P.S.

If you are unaware of the infamous Garth and Kat singing duo, check out a clip of them below. It is one of my favorite improv skits because “Kat” never knows what “Garth” is going to be singing and she just has to follow along. Stephanie killed me with her ability to follow my lead and not even look at me. She’s a one-take wonder.

Or maybe this means we spend too much time together and are morphing into one?

Question

What is your Christmas wish?

      That skit is one of my favorites. That and More Cowbell 😉 Really gonna miss the blog over the next couple months, but I can’t wait to see what’s up ahead!

      Stephanie, excellent job. There is no way I could keep a straight face doing that!

          @Julie, Seriously – Stephanie is amazing. She kills me in this video and I am so happy that everyone got a glimpse of what I get every day!

            @JOY, I think you guys make a pretty incredible team. SNL would be lucky to have you 🙂

      Love the stress-free star decoration! Merry Christmas and Happy prosperous New Year. Blessings on the new excitement peeping over the horizon!

      God gives us guidance even in our thought patterns b/c we are prone to the easy emotional response of: whining, complaining and murmuring about everything. The maturing faith response is: Philippians 4: 8-9 “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”

      And then there is the active process of taking “captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5.

      Taming the thoughts and the tongue is an ongoing process. May the Spirit of God help us all! 😉

        @Lisa, Stephanie is a champ. Seriously incredible that she doesn’t even look at me. Ying & Yang.

      This may be bad timing since you’re taking a break for couple of months (do it!), but I just wanted to share that the existence of this blog is encouraging to me. Thanks,

        @Trevor, I never turn down encouragement! Seriously thank you. It means a ton.

      Hi Joy,
      I’m also one of those “two people” who will be bummed that you won’t be posting for December and January. But I’m very much looking forward to what 2012 holds on here! Thank you–for your encouragement, wisdom, and humor. It has given me hope and comfort, as well as many smiles. Merry Christmas!

      • JOY thinks...

        @Michelle, Thank you! All of the support from readers has also given me great hope and comfort. Merry Christmas to you.

    • Michaeleen thinks...

      Your blogs will be missed! But I can’t wait to see what you have in store for 2012! And maybe I can take the time that I read your blogs and put it into finishing reading Love and Respect. 🙂 I see what you’re doing. Thanks for everything you’re doing!

      • JOY thinks...

        @Michaeleen, You’re on to me! All part of the plan! Muuuahahaha.

      Joy, I like your messages and website!
      I’m outside of the ages range for your survey, but I will pass it on to those who are.
      I believe your unassuming, quirky, sincere, and open manner WILL/DOES appeal to Christian and searching age-rangers alike. I pray you are blessed with the perseverance and energy to maintain an up-to-date responsiveness to your fans, er, friends?!
