Does this guy look new to you? Make sure you check out the first and second Tuesday with Normie. If you already know him, you can check out the next episode HERE.

I’m not one for writing post with lists like, “5 Ways To Become a Broadway Singer.” Truly. I was honored to know that even Christianity Today noticed I’m not a big list-writer. (They also called me a “Relationship Maven,” so obviously they didn’t call any of my exes as references.)
But the way things shook out in today’s chat with Dr. Norm Thiesen all boiled down to two great questions.
These aren’t the ONLY questions you could/should/will ask, but they might be helpful to keep tucked in your back pocket for that time when you find yourself at a wedding with an old person.
And let’s be honest, after two agenda items, I can’t remember anything else. Therefore I assume you and I are the same.

From my (frozen) heart,

P.P.P.S. You’ve probably never heard the song that was played in this video. Most haven’t. So if you want to hear the whole song and be humming it for the next three hours, weeks or month, click HERE to see this tatted Daddy/Daughter duo. (The father is tatted, not sure about the three-year-old.)
P.P.P.P.S. Not sure why this is here, but I was on a roll with the post script.

Isn’t he great!?! Well we decided to ask online what other questions people thought should be asked and I recorded a video yesterday with more of those ideas and even though it wasn’t Normie, I discussed it with a 3 year old little girl. You might like her too… Very wise.
And thank you for your encouragement!
Great, now I’ll be singing that song for the rest of the night!
…Great questions! I think we’re quick to try to do life alone. I know I am- at least when it comes to personal things. The older I get though, and the more I read and watch your stuff, I’m realizing the depth that asking right questions brings to not only relationships but life.
Thank you Jennifer! Yes. There is so much that triggers my brain when I just stop and ask someone a question or their opinion, or admit that I don’t know an answer. And what I love is how much it honors most people to genuinely be asked a question.
On the other hand, most of us ARE familiar with Idina Menzel’s “Let it Go.” 😀 😀
I could sing it myself.
Love it. For some reason, it just clicked in my head that… (duh, duh, DUH!) my parents would be really good people to ask those questions of. I mean, despite living with them for 20 years, I probably haven’t payed much attention to exactly what they do that makes their marriage work.
And just sayin’ – that was no where near long enough. We need more Normie!
Haha! Well there is two before this one and three that follow! Enjoy all the Normie and let me know what your parents say!
Beth thinks...
So the only complaint I have on that one is that it was too short! We want more Normie!! 🙂
Seriously, thanks, Joy for all you do and for encouraging and challenging us in this life we walk together.
