Publishers Weekly
.... the most fascinating part of the story lies within Vincent herself-and the
way that censoring her emotions to pass as a man provoked a psychological
breakdown. For fans of Nickel and Dimed-style immersion reporting, this
book is a sure bet.
Nuala O'Faolain, author of Are You Somebody?
This gripping book got me through a delayed transatlantic flight beside a
shrieking baby. Could I say more? It was high-risk stuff, Norah Vincent's
undercover research into what men are like when they're in the places where men
are men. The reader's heart beats fast at the chances she took. In adventure
writing like this it is the quality of the adventurer that matters. Norah
Vincent's perceptiveness, and above all her large sympathies, make her the
perfect guide.
Christina Hoff Sommers
A fascinating, original and often hilarious long day's journey into the world
of men. Posing as a man and infiltrating the female-free places males
congregate, Norah Vincent finds the male precincts to be a lot better--and a
lot worse--than most women ever imagine.
Library Journal - Jack Forman
An often humorous, incisive, and fascinating account that validates the
conclusions of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus.
The New York Times Book Review
...[A] thoughtful, diligent, entertaining piece of first-person journalism....
[I]n its best moments, Self-Made Man transcends its premise altogether,
offering not an undercover woman's take on male experience, but simply a
fly-on-the-wall look at various unglamorous male milieus that are well off the
radar screen of most journalists and book authors. Rich and audacious.
Bruce Bawer, author of A Place At the Table
An extraordinary human document, rich in empathy and insight. Readers expecting
a light read about a diverting stunt will find themselves taking a riveting and
richly illuminating journey into some of their own deepest truths. You start
out peeping into a window and end up staring into a mirror.

This post is the result of a recent bug hunt in which I came across a tricky bug, found a debugging switch I’d completely forgotten existed and learned a little about calling extern
string functions from C#.
I love bug hunting. It’s like a murder mystery: you’ve got your suspects and you try to eliminate them one at a time until, as a famous bug hunter said:
… when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
Between about 1995 and 2006, I used a data library called Apollo almost every day. It was a bunch of C++ drivers for dBase files with some more advanced options for encryption and indexing and was a popular option for Clipper) programmers. I joined a software project which was based on Clipper and Apollo in 1995. Apollo went through many different incarnations SuccessWare, Luxent, Vista, ApolloDB. All of these companies were essentially providing wrappers for different languages (Delphi, .NET) but the core C++ drivers always remained more or less the same and it’s still going.
Fast forward to 2013 and we have a legacy console utility for migrating data from the old format, which traverses the Apollo tables and converts the data to our model (DevExpress XPO objects). This code hardly ever changes, but when I converted all our core libraries to .NET 4.5., I found I had to jump in and fix it one last time.
When I tried to run the upgraded .NET 4.5 library I got a mysterious app crash.
The application would then close without any error message or stack trace. Nothing I did was allowing me catch any exception. None of the signatures, e.g., the c0000374
exception code show up on Google. It shows up in the Windows event log, but apparently EventID 1000 is a very generic error message.
I had a suspicion the problem was something to do with the Apollo assembly and I also knew that Apollo was not all managed code. I stumbled over the Enable native code debugging in the project settings. I’ve never used this setting. (My next approach would have been to use tracing to try to pinpoint the location of the crash.)
Visual Studio really impresses with its debugging capabilities. When we run again, we get a stack trace and an error message.
Well Google didn’t seem to have much to say about ‘This may be due to a corruption of the heap’. But the problem seems to do with apolloTable.FieldName(i)
. With a decompiler I had a look at its definition.
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
|
Let’s find ApolloAPI.sx_FieldName(fieldNum);

|
Now, knowing that SDE7.dll is written in C++, I guessed it might be having trouble with the return value being a string
. The C++ memory management of the returned string might be getting in the way. A bit of StackOverflow gave me this trick: declare the return type as IntPtr
and use Marshal.PtrToStringAnsi()
to get a C# string
from the pointer. (It seems that .NET 4.5 is stricter about marshalling than earlier frameworks. Perhaps someone can enlighten me why the error did not occur with .NET 4.0?) I wrote a new extension method for ApolloTable
and changed the code to use apolloTable.SafeFieldName(i)
instead.

And bingo! The application now runs without error.


NEON BIBLE, THE (director: Terence Davies; cast: Gena Rowlands (Aunt Mae), Diana Scarwid (Sarah), Jacob Tierney (David, at age 15), Denis Leary (Frank), Leo Burmester (Bobbie Lee Taylor ), Frances Conroy (Miss Scover), Peter McRobbie (Reverend Watkins), Drake Bell (David, at age 10), 1997)
An old-fashioned type of coming-of-age film, shot by the Englishman,Terence Davies (Distant Voices, Still Lives). It is adapted from a semi-autobiographical book written as a teenager in the '50s, for a national literary contest, by John Kennedy Toole. It tells of a Southern boy named David (Tierney) and of his growing up poor and uneducated in the '40s in a rural and backward area. And, the strange hold his harsh father (Leary) and tender mother (Diana) have over him. It also tells about his meaningful relationship with his visiting Aunt Mae (Gena). She is a former actress/singer. They all try to provide him with enough different insights so this gentle soul can find his own way in the world.
When this slow-moving film works, and it often does, it is artistically and subtly satisfying to behold, as it spins its simple story in flashback. David is seen alone in the opening shot riding away from town in a train, going somewhere unknown.
The next time we see him, is in flashback, as he was as a 10-year-old (Drake), hoping for a Christmas snow, but getting rain and magical looking icicles on his porch, instead. What perks him up, is the ebullience of his Auntie Mae, who does not fit into this Bible Belt region. She prefers to dress and act in the style of her showbiz past, and is therefore loudly chastised for her appearance and sinful attitude. When one lives in such a place, where conformity counts for everything, then one either tries to fit into town or leaves. To stay and fight the locals will only ensure you of a most unpleasant time.
Because the aunt and David are different from the locals, this leads to their closeness and dependence on each other. But they are forced to change as their lives change, and this is what affects the sensitive David the most. He is not ready for these changes.  He, is also, unsure of himself with girls and with the making of friends his age. He goes to work full-time at the age of 15, in a pharmacy, and seems to be going nowhere fast.
 We see her lose a grip on reality while she is attending one of those religious revival meetings. Soon afterwards she becomes a basket case worried about how the family will get by with her husband unemployed from his factory job, and has to be taken care of by Aunt Mae. Aunt Mae will meet a local musician and team up with him professionally and romantically, and soon leaves town with him.  This leads to the tragic event that causes David to get on the train and hightail it out of there.
All this drama is played out quietly.The camera focuses in for the longest possible time without moving: on the local scenery, on Sarah hanging out the laundry, on the homefolks going about their business, a KKK meeting his father takes him to, Aunt Mae singing "My Romance" slightly off key; and, in the background, we can hear a radio speech by FDR, an episode from Gang Busters, music such as "Dixie" and "This Old Rugged Cross" and "Chattanooga Choo Choo", being sung by the locals. We become absorbed in the national and local events taking place during that time period and see how it influenced the youngster growing up.
The film ends abruptly and magnificently, without a summation of what might happen to David. The train David is on is crossing the countryside in early dawn, framed against an optimistic sky of varying shades of yellows, oranges and pinkish blues.
 It is this child's insightful look at the world and at himself, and what changes him and forces him to grow up before he is ready to, that makes it a special film.
The cinematography was beautifully done. Gena Rowlands was impressive in a very subtle performance. Jacob Tierney as David, gave his character softness and breath in a laconic performance. The only problem I have with his performance, is that since this is his life story being told, he seems to be too emotionless. I found that hard to fathom; if it was me on that nighttime train, alone, going to who knows where, as my brief life passes before me, I would have certainly been more animated about the situation I was in.
This film is not Davies' best film, it was too dull at times for that; but, it is a solid film, an honestly done effort that was well-researched and presented. It offered an interesting observation about the rural south, that is often filmed, but most of the time, it is done with less tact than how it was done here and with less of a real artistic touch.

I had an emotional conflict with my sister Sarah when I was making plans to visit her and her family in Dallas. She and I were on the phone and we had just finalized when I would visit when she told me, "Now whatever you do, do not tell mom you are coming to see me. If she hears you are visiting, then she will make plans to visit too."
Surprised by this I asked my sister, "Are you telling me to lie to mom? What I am supposed to tell her if she asks? She will get upset when she finds out if we keep it from her. I think it's better to tell her.
To which my sister replied, "Oh no!  Whatever you do don't tell her!"
I responded with, "You're gonna put me in hot water! She's gonna be mad at me when she finds out. I can't believe you're telling me to lie to mom!"
"Don't lie to her... Just don't tell her! She just visited a few months ago and now I want you to visit."
"But what will I say when I talk with her? Pretend like I am not coming to visit you? What if she asks about my plans?"
"Just don't tell her!"
The conversation went around and around like this for awhile and it was getting quite emotional and there didn't seem to be a way to resolve it. Then I remembered a lesson I learned in a Nonviolent Communication class. An effective step in resolving a conflict is to make sure that everyone involved feels heard. I realized that I was putting all my energy into explaining to my sister why not telling mom didn't work for me and she was putting all her energy into insisting that I not tell mom. So I paused for a second and took a breath and made a conscious choice to shift gears.
Then I said, "Ok. I think I know where you're coming from. Mom sometimes visits without warning and when she does it can be stressful. She wants to spend a lot of time with the kids and it can take a lot of your energy being a host to her. If she finds out I'm coming, she might think that it would be a good time for her to visit too. It would be great for me to have a chance to spend quality time with you and your family."
To which Sarah replied, "Yeah, that's right. Exactly." She sighed and paused a second and then said, "But I know where you're coming from too. You don't want to lie to mom and you don't want to her get mad at you when she finds out. You know what, it'll be Ok. You can tell her."
I was surprised! "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, it'll be OK."
To which I replied. "You know, I think so. It'll be Ok. I'll let her know that I am looking forward to spending some quality brother-sister time with you, and uncle time with the kids."
Not long after that conversation, I talked with my mom and told her with sensitivity that I would be visiting Sarah. She understood and I ended up having a great visit to Dallas.
The source of the conflict was Sarah's need to have a peaceful, stress-fee home and to have a personal and quality visit with me. The problem was her strategy for meeting this need involved me not meeting my needs to be honest with my mom and to avoid having her be upset with me.
I handled this conflict by first expressing why Sarah's strategy didn't work for me. It was important to do this but when I kept doing this, she kept insisting that I not tell mom. This was not getting us anywhere. If anything, we were both getting increasingly upset and frustrated with each other.
But then I shifted to understanding and empathizing with her position. Miraculously, when she sensed my care for her and my appreciation for where she was coming from, she was better able to understand where I was coming from. Then she found the flexibility in herself to move forward in a way that cared for both of us. She was willing to risk that my mom might want to come too. In the end I was able to express to my mom that I wanted to spend some brother-sister time with Sarah, and it all worked out.
If I could go back and do this differently, I would have shifted to understanding and empathy sooner so that we would not have gotten so frustrated with each other. (It would be wonderful to go back because my sister Sarah passed away in February. It would be nice to have a loving conversation with her. In a way, writing this blog feels like going back so it has been very worthwhile.)
From this experience I learned that when people are in conflict and are going head to head and keep expressing their points of view in a way that seem to oppose each other, progress is very hard to make. When one person takes the time to receive fully what the other person is saying, it may encourage the other person to do the same. Then the people can realize that they are actually trying to create a resolution that cares for everyone. At that point it becomes easier for people to be flexible and creative so that a solution can be found.
Fortunately, I didn't resort to the behaviors in the Compass of Shame which are: Attack Other, Withdraw, Attack Self, Avoidance. I could have said, "Sarah you are being ridiculous!" Or I could have just changed the subject and not been true to myself. Or I could have said "I'm such a disloyal brother since I don't do what my sister tells me." Or I could have gotten off the phone and had some beers to forget about it.
I am glad that I try to understand myself and what motivates me. I was clear what needs of mine I wanted to ensure were met, and eventually I became more clear about what needs Sarah needed met. Through compassion we were able to resolve the conflict in a way that was caring to everyone.

How to tell if your baby has a cold and how long it should last
by Christina Bennett- Symptoms for a common cold will typically last 7 to 10 days in infants and children.
- Typical symptoms include a stuffy or runny nose, cough, and fever.
- Symptoms will probably peak and become the worst on days two and three.
- This article was reviewed by Graham Snyder, MD, MS, who is the medical director for the Infection Prevention and Hospital Epidemiology branch at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
- Visit Insider’s homepage for more stories.
A cold can really start a fuss, especially when a baby catches it.
Each year in the US, the common cold infects more people than any other illness, and infants and children are especially susceptible. Here’s what you need to know if your baby has caught a cold.
How long does a cold last in babies?
Symptoms for a cold will typically last 7 to 10 days in infants and children. Common cold symptoms to watch out for in your baby include:
- Stuffy or runny nose
- Cough
- Loss of appetite
- Fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit
Another way to tell is that: “You’ll notice them getting fussier,” says Julieana Nichols, MD, an associate professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital.
There’s no concrete timeline for cold symptoms in babies because it varies from one baby to the next. But generally, a baby will develop a fever within the first three days of illness.
Their symptoms will probably peak and become the worst on days two and three. After that, by day four symptoms tend to improve. But the cough may linger beyond day 10.
Babies can sometimes catch up to eight colds a year. Nichols says the number depends on how often the baby is exposed to other children who may be sick. For example, babies who attend daycare may catch the cold six to eight times a year, while babies who don’t tend to have fewer colds, about two or three.
How to help a baby with a cold
Usually, the best course of action is to wait for the cold to go away and manage symptoms in the meantime. Parents can use:
- A humidifier to ease stuffy or runny noses.
- Saline nose drops can thin mucus, which should then be removed with a bulb syringe.
- To relieve discomfort related to a fever, acetaminophen pain relievers, like Tylenol, is safe if your baby is between 3 and 6 months old (for babies 6 months and older, you can provide ibuprofen).
But for children younger than 2 years old, avoid over-the-counter cough and cold medications that contain a decongestant or antihistamine. Common brands include Mucinex Children’s Stuffy Nose and Chest Congestion and Children’s Dimetapp Cold and Allergy.
That’s because it’s unclear what the right dose is for babies at this age, and overdoses can cause “convulsions, rapid heart rates, and death,” according to the FDA. Overdoses have been more common than you might guess.
In 2004-05, more than 1,500 US children younger than age 2 went to the emergency room for side effects related to overdoses from cough and cold medications.
When to take your baby to a doctor for the cold?
While colds typically go away on their own, a baby may need to visit the pediatrician if unusual symptoms develop.
According to Nichols, parents should seek medical care if:
- A baby younger than 2 months has a fever over 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
- The baby is older and has a fever of over 101 degrees Fahrenheit.
- A cough worsens after day 10.
- The baby is vomiting to the point they’re urinating less.
And if your baby isn’t exhibiting these warning signs but you’re still worried, call your pediatrician.

Hey baby. Mrs. Jones, how in the heck are you? I'm well. We shouldn't say heck because our children keep asking us if heck is a bad word.
Yes.  Heck is totally fine. And then you often say, dang it when you're playing video games.
And so now MJ is saying, dang it. So I said to him today, MJ, we don't say dang it. And he said, oh my gosh. And I said, no, baby, we don't say that either.
either. He said, "So what I say?" And I said, "Oopsie Daisy." So he looked at me and he went,
"Oopsie Daisy, oh my gosh."
That's like...
Parenting fail. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Episode 65 of Keeping Up With The Joneses.
I hope you have had an amazing week.
Yes.
We had an amazing week.
We did.
Partly because our kids are back in school.
Yes, it was a very full week.
partly because you discovered how to make paleo crepes.
Yes, and paleo crepes.
Crapes.
I can't even remember how you say in French.
V.P.
Almost certain it's not that.
I'm sure it's crepes.
You have always made bananas faster one of my favorite desserts.
It's true.
But you've never made it with the crepes.
No, because it doesn't have to be with the crepes, but.
OK, I've only ever experienced it with the crepes.
So I married you.
So all this time I've been thinking that you've been short changing me on dessert.
Oh, no, I usually just served the banana and the sauce and everything over ice cream.
But being as we're not having ice cream right now and I could make a paleo grape.
Let's talk about why I'm not allowed ice cream.
You're not allowed ice cream because you're bad.
I'm not bad.
I'm just kidding. Because we are back on paleo.
And for those people who don't understand what paleo is,
Give us a quick rundown on paleo.
Paleo is no grains, no sugars, no dairy.
And the advantage of this is we both feel much better, less grumpy, and like our brains are defogged when we eat this way.
I don't feel that right now.
Right now, all you can think about is the fact that you didn't get dessert.
True.
That's very true.

Correct but that's probably good for our bodies even if it's a disadvantage in terms of convenience.
It is good for my weight.
Yes, you lost like four pounds yesterday.
I did. One day of paleo down four pounds.
Seriously, I lost just over two yesterday. Crazy.
We should probably keep track of our weight then and see how much we lose.
How long are we planning on doing paleo for?
That's insanity stop now you get behind me saying.
On the topic of food we managed to eat up in Nashville this week.
We did.
We got to see our good friends Tyler and Analie.
Which was awesome.
And we ate at the butcher town hall.
Yes.
We've heard amazing things about it.
It was good.
I like it.

And yet you had better food than I did.
I did?
Well, you had a bigger portion and for me, bigger is better.
Oh dear.
Well, I think it's because I tried like three drinks and I didn't like any of them.
Right.
Did you like the inside of the butcher town hall?
gorgeous. It's beautiful inside. It wants some architectural words. I think so. That's not surprising.
If it hasn't issued a, it's beautiful. I think I heard that somewhere. And the brisket is phenomenal.
Right. Yeah.  Give us an update on your
shoulder. You had a name or I. I had an MRI. And you got it diagnosed. Yeah. So I have adhesive,
capsulitis, which is frozen shoulder.
- Which is what I told you.
(laughs)
- Frozen shoulder.
And I have an impingement and I've also torn
the labral ligament that goes in through the back
of your shoulder.
So I've done some damage somehow.
And basically they're saying the only way to fix it
is surgery.
And I've had two now doctors look at it
and tell me the same thing.
But of course my problem is there are surgeons
that are looking at it and surgery is what they do.
So of course they're saying I have to have surgery,
but it may be that it's true.
- Right, just because their surgeons
doesn't mean it isn't in need of surgery.
- Yes.
- And yet to ham or everything looks like an ale.
- Yes.
So I'm just praying and we're looking at one other option
to get somebody to look at my MRIs
and tell me if they think their alternate method
actually would do any good. And if they say no, then we might be looking at surgery.

So do I am getting prayer every time I can get it.
Because then you have the MRIs to prove what it was like before you got healed.
Yeah, that'd be awesome.
Let's just jump straight into our main topic this week.
Okay.
Are you ready?
I think so.
I want to talk about something.
Yeah.
Something that's very close to my heart.
Yeah.
I want to talk about the importance of church.
Yeah.
I've loved church. I was not true. I was going to say I've loved church on my life. It took a long
time before I loved church. But I loved church before I worked at church. That's an important
distinction to make. And I think this week, well, I've been chewing on this topic for a while,
but this week brought it to a head because I had several conversations over email, over Twitter,
face to face about people, Christians who've decided they're no longer going to church.
Right. And because I see going to church as such a vital part of maturing and growth in your
Christian walk, I have difficulty reconciling that life choice with being a Christian. It's
almost like, you know what, the Bible, too many words, I don't really want to read it. And you're
like, well, what are you going to replace that with?
Right. I think for me, it makes me really worried. Like when I hear somebody is, you know,
backing away from church or, you know, is just like, yeah, I don't, I'm not going to do church
anymore. I'm going to church as me in a coffee store and whatever. It makes me super, super worried.
I think because I've never seen it turn out well. Like I, I've never seen it turn out in
healthy relationships, healthy marriages, healthy anything.
Right. Yeah, you're going for coffee in a coffee store. It's called going for coffee,
not going to church. Right. And it doesn't matter if there's one other person drinking coffee
beside you reading their Bible. It's still not church. Yeah. I understand
the concept of not having been a church because seasons change. You know, you moved to a new city,
for example, you haven't found a church.  So I actually
even understand people who have perhaps overdosed on church.
I understand taking a couple of weeks off just, I don't know, to recalibrate. I don't think
that's wise, but I get it. Or maybe they've been in a church that's been a toxic environment for
- Or whatever.

I understand people being like,
I just need space to regroup.
I get that.
But when you made a major life decision
to no longer go to church,
I've got some questions for you.
The first of which is,
what makes you think you can do
without the very thing that Jesus gave you?
Because it's important we don't forget
that the church is actually God's idea.
- Right.
- The church is the bride of Christ.
Right.

And if you were to say that to me, hanging out with me
would be a fairly interesting affair at that point.
[LAUGHTER]
I recognize this is a huge topic.
And actually, I think if the Holy Spirit's up for it,
I'd like to speak on this tomorrow night at Emmonate.
And so I'll do a teaching then.
And so tonight we're having a discussion.
Don't we want to do a teaching?
Right.
But can I throw out a verse for you that I was reading?
Sure.
Hebrews 10. Love the book of Hebrews. Absolutely love the book of Hebrews. It's amazing.
Hebrews 10 is all about contrasting life under the old covenant versus life in the new covenant.
And so, you know, paints a really bleak picture of life in the Old Testament and kind of explains
in context the glory of what we've been given through life in Jesus Christ. And it starts in
verse 19 where it says, "Therefore," right? So contrasting everything I've just described,
think about everything that Jesus has done. Verse 19 says this, "So, dear brothers and sisters,
we can boldly enter heaven's most holy place because of the blood of Jesus. By his death,
Jesus opened a new and life-giving way through the curtain into the most holy place. And since
we have a great high priest who rolls over God's house, and then he goes on and said, "Let us
four times. So since we've got this amazing promise in Jesus Christ, and since we have
this great high priest, which is Jesus, who rules over God's house, which is the church,
let us do these four things. Are you ready for these four things?
Number one, let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts, fully trusting
Him. Next one, let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can
be trusted to keep his promise. Number three, let us think of ways to motivate one another
to act of love and good works. And number four, let us not neglect our meeting together
as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return
is drawing near. Yeah. Here's my point. Not going to church, which is number four, not
going to church is as foolish as the first one, which is not entering the presence of God,
or holding tightly to the hope that we have, or motivating one another to do the acts of love
or good works. So, like, out of the four things that the promise of Jesus gives us,
that we are able to do, why pick stopping going to church, especially when the Bible says,
don't do that. Right? Right?  I'm done with
entering the presence of God. I'm just so over the presence of God. Right? Nobody's
like, you know what? As a Christian, I don't really want to hold tightly to the hope that
I have. I'm not so much into motivating people to do acts of love or good words.
Right. That's insanity. Right.
The other thing that I thought of when I read this verse is that the church is the perfect
context for entering the presence of God. It's the perfect context for holding tightly to our hope
and for motivating one another to say that we don't need church is just absurd.
Yeah, but again, I often wonder like when people say that they're not, they don't, you know,
need the church or they don't want to go to church. Many, I don't know if I'd say all,
but many of the people that I've seen make that decision, it seems to be a decision made out of
hurt. So they've experienced some sort of hurt or disappointment with the church. And so as a
result, they've decided to just back away from church altogether. But and then they start to build
like a theology around why church isn't important and why you meet a coffee store as church and
you know, why whatever, but any in any other area of our lives, if we were building a theology
to support a hurt so that we didn't have to face that hurt and actually get healed of it,
we'd be going, "Hey, that's not good theology." But in this area, it seems like it's becoming
trendy to be the people that don't go to church. Oh, so trendy. I've lost count of the number of
people. And this is all over the world, people I catch up with who've stopped going to church.
And the only thing I can think of is, "Oh dear God, I'm worried for you."
It makes me so worried. And again, all over the world, we literally have friends all over the
world that are making that kind of decision. And they're paying for it. And it breaks my heart.
When you say paying for it, you mean the corresponding fruit that you see,
Often just a few years after their decision to no longer go church is calamity.
It's horrible.
And it's probably worth noting here.
I'm not saying that and we're not saying that everybody who stops going to church ends up in calamity.
Right.
But what I am saying is every single person I've helped pass through calamity in the last five or six years,
the thing they all have in common is that they all stop going to church.
Yeah.
You know, it's, I find interesting that you mentioned that a lot of the people you know who've left the church have been hurt in church.
Yeah.
I, I find it really sad that that would be a motivation for making a major life decision.
Because making decisions out of her seems a pretty poor way of living.
Yeah.

Yes.
Your husband left you and divorced you.
Yeah.
If an obviously you got hurt with that experience,
yes, imagine you in that heart made a decision not to have
anything to do more with men.
Right.
You would never have met me.
Yeah.
You'd never have three stinkingly gorgeous children.
Right.
You wouldn't be on a podcast.
Right.
You wouldn't have the level of joy you have right now to you.
All because you made a decision rooted in hurt.
And the thing is, if I lived like that and just decided that's it,
I mean, I have nothing left to do with men and whatever.
the people around me that love me would say, "Hey, I think you're making a horrible decision."
And you're actually making a life decision based on pain. Don't you think you want to walk through
this pain? And then that way you could get healed up and head back towards life?
Right. But that's assuming you have healthy people around you.
Right.
What if you just chose to congregate on Facebook or cultivate friends with other women who'd
who'd been hurt or betrayed by men. The input from those people would be like, "Yeah, men
suck!" And you could just form this nice little group of friends who all agree with
you and your pain who are completely missing the point of what God would want to do in
your life.
Right. Little divorce groups.
Little divorce groups. And yet we kind of see that today in the church. You tend to see
pockets of people who...
Church divorce groups.
Yeah, who are banded together, like, you know, thechurchstucks.com.
Right.
I mean, that's actually a website.
But anyway, I think it just comes back to the,
it's pretty odd that we would think
that we know what's better for our Christian walk
than the master who's leading us in our Christian walk.
And here is his word saying,
let us not neglect our meeting together as some people do.
Like this isn't a trendy new problem.
This existed back, you know, when Hebrews was written.
- Right.
- Passageth said something,
I don't forget when it was six months ago,
He said, "It seems like we're quite content to follow God's will until it contradicts our will."
And of course, that's immaturity right there.
But it seems to me, as I've been pondering this, that often we really like Jesus the Savior
a whole lot more than we do Jesus the Lord.
Right.
And that's a shame because his lordship is what leads us into splendor.
Yeah, I think what happens is too often we get saved.
And then I don't know through what ever series of events we sometimes
arrive at this conclusion that you know what, I'm good things.
Like I actually don't need the rest of what you're offering.
I'll just take the salvation and leave any of the stuff that you expect me to do.
And when we think like that, we're actually as far away from good as we might imagine.
You know, when we got to Grayson, we would joke because the prevailing mindset
And this mindset isn't unique to grace in or by any means, but the prevailing mindset in a lot of secular places is don't tell me what to do.
The trouble is that don't tell me what to do is now prevalent not only in secular culture, but also in Christian culture.
Right.

Because the fact is he's Lord of all.
He actually does get to tell you what to do.
Then following him means that you submit to him.
His job is to lead.
Our job is to follow.
He only ever leads us into goodness.
If you notice that.
Yeah.
And to state that we know a better route or route or a better
destination is both horribly arrogant and terribly foolish.
Yeah.
And yet I see people willingly and quite proudly making this decision.
And I'm like, how did we get to here?
Like this is insanity.
Yeah.
And these are people I know or people I've taught, people I've led, people I've
passed it.
And I'm, you know, I was kind of down today thinking like, Oh, please change your mind.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I think, you know, I think when people are out from underneath authority, it's,
it's, it scares me for a couple of reasons.
you're out from underneath protection as it were
when you're out from underneath authority.
But also, remember once talking to John about it
and John said, "You know, people that don't have room
"for authority in their life can't have a Lord."
- Right.
- Like, you can't serve a Lord,
you can't serve Jesus as Lord
if you have no room for authority.
- Well, you'll never serve a king in eternity
if you haven't learned to serve a leader here on earth.
- Yeah.
- You know that one completely different situation
similar premise is the sabbatical command on your mother and your father.
Well, that command on your mother and father is true even if you have bad parents.
Right. You still honor them.
And people might say, "But what if they're not Christians? You still honor them. But what if
they rejected me? You still honor them. The instruction is to you, not them." So it's the
same with church, we're told not to give up meeting together and we're told to encourage one another
to meet together. But what if church is boring? Don't give up meeting together. But what if my
church doesn't do evangelism the way I like? Don't give up meeting together. I mean, the
instruction is the same and it's just don't give up meeting together. I saw on Facebook a while back,
Steve Long, who's a pastor in Toronto and a good friend of ours. He posted this very clever statement
and it was twelve reasons why I quit attending sporting events.
Yeah, I was clever.
I want to read this because people come up with similar insane reasons for leaving the church.
Number one, the coach never came to visit me.
Number two, every time I went, they asked for money.
Number three, the people sitting in my row didn't seem very friendly.
Number four, the seats were very hard.
Number five, the referees made a decision I didn't agree with.
Number 6, I was sitting with hypocrites. They only came to see what other people were wearing.
Number 7, some games went into overtime and I was late getting home.
Number 8, the band played some songs I had never heard before.
Number 9, the games are scheduled on my only day to sleep in and run errands.
Number 10, my parents took me to too many games when I was growing up.
Number eleven since I read a book on sports I feel I know more than the coaches anyway.
And number twelve I don't want to take my children because I want them to choose for
themselves what sport they like best.
Oh dear.
What advice would you give for people?
Let's say we're mentoring people and they happen to be all over the world so they don't
have the luxury of the numerous amazing churches we have here in Nashville.
And they say, "You know what?
I hear what you're saying and I love church and I want to go to church, but I've got really
bad leaders.
What advice would you give them?"
Well, I mean, I would pray and if the Lord says you can move to a different church, then
find another church, but get plugged in somewhere.
I think the thing is most of the time, the things that we have issue with at our church,
they'll follow us to the next church and to the next church, which might mean that the
issue has more to do with us than it does with the church, but that's just a side note.
Right.
That old adage of there's no perfect church and if you find one, don't join, you'll ruin
it.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, seriously, there isn't a perfect church and we work for the church and we love the
church, but there's no perfect churches.
Right.
There isn't.
But I mean, if you're dreadfully unhappy where you are, then just find a church that's
a great church and go there, but get plugged in and invest there.
Right.
Pick healed up leaders.
Yeah.
What are people who say my churches is like weird it's got weird cultural norms.
I'm like if it's not a deal breaker.

Annoying trailers and not trailers but like adverts commercials that are just that's terrible right they take forever and yeah i just put up with it if it was that bad i'd go to a different movie theater so.
There's some churches in Nashville that be great Bible believing brilliant churches, but I wouldn't want to go to them because culturally they don't fit what you know what I love but we're blessed and there's more churches in our cities and there are Starbucks.
Way more way more.
But that's what I'd say if it's not deal breakers suck it up if it is a deal breaker just find somewhere to get plugged in to get put into you.
One of the arguments I often hear is that church is really boring.
And my, you know, I love what Bill Johnson says, if you're bored, you might want to check the distance between you and the master.
Yeah.
But the other thing about being bored in church is it's very, very easy to complain when you have no responsibility.
Right.
So actually getting plugged in, not only alleviates your boredom, but might actually help you change some of the culture from within.
Right.
The same thing, you know, when people say, I don't like the structure of church.
Well, again, my encouragement is don't leave because then you've got even left structure
than you had before.
Stay and change it from the inside.
Usually when there's a restlessness in your spirit, it actually could be the Lord in that he's stirring you for something new.
Could be that there's a call of God on your life to actually plant churches.
How, how like the enemy would it be to get somebody who's actually got a call of God on them to plant churches to actually leave the church out of frustration.
So don't be an unwitting vessel for the devil.
Resist the temptation to be disobedient to scripture.
Get plugged in, find amazing churches, and if need be, supplement perhaps the teaching
that you don't feel like you're getting.
But I mean, all those questions would lead me to ask, like, what's going on in your
heart in that area?
All right.
Are you ready for one more verse?
I said I wasn't going to teach, but I found another verse I love.
Ephesians 4, long been one of my favorite verses.
Yeah, it's a great chapter.
Okay, it's also written to the church in Ephesus.
Imagine that's a letter written to a church.
Yeah.
If you weren't in a church, you would never have got this revelation.
Right.
But I digress.
Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church, the apostles, the prophets,
the evangelists and the pastors and teachers.
Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do His work
and build up the church, the body of Christ.
Here's a thought for you. If you remove yourself from the church, which some people
are doing, then you will not be equipped nor will you be built up. You instantly stunt
your growth when you choose to leave the church. Because the Bible says that being equipped
and being built up only happens in the church. Verse 13, this will continue the growing up
in the maturing, until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God's
Son that we will be maturing the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.
Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won't be tossed and blown about by every
wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever
they sound like truth. If that isn't a word for the church today, I don't know what it is.
Because some people will argue, I don't need to be in church because I can just subscribe to this podcast or that podcast or read this blog or read this book.
I can just be equipped and I can be built up.
But the Bible says, no, you can't.
If you try and do that outside of God's plan, which is being in church, it says here that you end up immature.
says you end up being blown about by every wind of new teaching,
and you'll be influenced when people tell you lies that sound like the truth.
Now, I am not saying this applies to everybody,
but here is a pattern and a progression that I have seen
in the lives of some people who've left the church.
- Okay. - They've left the church?
- Yeah.
- Then they start questioning Scripture. - Mm-hmm.

If that's not the scariest trajectory for a Christian to follow, I don't know what is.
And yet right here in Ephesians, it's saying the antidote to being blown around and being
influenced by every wind of new teaching, and oh my gosh, there's a ton of that, is to stay in the
church.
Yeah.
And I mean, I definitely have seen that process or that trajectory happen.
I've equally seen the marriage just falling apart or the kids falling away from the Lord
or all those kinds of things happening as a result as well, where maybe they haven't
actually arrived at, I don't know if I believe in Jesus anymore, but their lives are just
kind of a shambles.
And I think that's what, I mean, for both of us, that's what gets us concerned because
we've walked this process through with so many people.
And it's always when people start down the process of saying, "Well, I'm just exploring
and I'm whatever."
And I'm sort of like, "Why would you be exploring something that God asks you not to do?"
Right.
Because that's what makes me concerned.
It's like, "Well, I get it that you're sort of thinking, "Well, I want the freedom to do
whatever, but actually there's some places where the Lord doesn't actually allow us a
freedom because me as a parent, I don't allow my son the freedom to put his hand on the
burner of my stove.
Well I want to see what it's like.
No, it's not going to happen.
And so sometimes that's how I feel is I want to go.
Guys like why?
Why do you want to head down a path that can't lead to anything good?
Right.
I wonder if, because we're pastors, we are connected with lots of people who've left
the church.
And ironically, once they've left, people leave the church and they don't want our
input.
Right?
That's the truth.
Like, so people, often a lot of the people who leave the church never wanted pastoral
input anyway.
But what I find ironic is when they inevitably hit calamity, we're the first people they
call.
Yeah.
Right?
of our role, we see a lot of this a lot more. But perhaps if you're just thinking, "Ah,
you know, what I'm saying is we have the luxury of seeing this timeline worked out."
Yeah, and probably the average Joe isn't actually seeing the way that that's working out
necessarily as frequently as we are. You know, and it's the last version of
to read in Ephesians 16 it says, Christ makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each
part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow so that the whole body, the
whole church is healthy and growing and full of love. When you decide to opt out of being
in the body, you stop growing and you become sick.
And you just took a hand or a nose or something with you.
Right.
We need you.
Yeah.
Health and growth is only found in the church.
It's God's design.
Anima made the people think that they're the exception in that role.
I think part of the problem, babe,
is that people confuse what you need to do for salvation
versus what you need to do to mature in Christ.
Right.
Right.
What you need to do for salvation is just believe.
It's an absolute free gift.
Going to church doesn't get you saved doesn't keep you saved reading the bible fasting praying
Tithing giving none of that gets you saved right, but what happens is
We confuse well, you know, I don't need to do that. I'm not under the law
No, you don't need to do anything
But if you don't do anything you'll remain shallow and possibly backslide right you do all this stuff
For the benefit and the life and the growth that it produces in you
So
Salvation is a free gift maturity requires intention and action
Somewhere along the line we think anything that requires intention or action on our part is religiosity
You're like are you kidding me?
What do you think how do you think you mature in Christ? Pixie dust like I don't I don't get it. Here's the thing
Jesus is a pretty smart person.
Yes.
And he has a plan A called the church and he doesn't have a plan B.
Right.
If you read the New Testament, take out the Gospels for a second.
The whole of the New Testament is about the church.
Yeah.
It's birth and acts.
It ends in Revelation with seven letters being written from Jesus to the church.
And everything in between is either letters to the church or about the church
or concerning church leadership.
I mean,
- Stractions.
- All to the church.
- And it's all within the context
of righteous living within the church.
- Right.
- As a church leader on this podcast,
I would like to absolutely apologize
for any other church leaders who may have hurt you,
who may have said unkind things,
may have said controlling things,
I'd absolutely include myself in that.
If A.J. and I have ever said anything that has hurt you,
If we've ever been seriously sorry, we would love to connect with you about that and reconcile
that because the last thing we would want is anybody to be away from the church, period,
especially out of her or offense towards us or towards church leaders.
But we're jealous for you to grow in love and to grow in fullness and to grow in richness
and maturity.
And all of that only happens within a church construct.
 Yeah, I would imagine lots of people. I've got lots of feedback for us
We would love to hear it genuinely go to Alan and AJ calm slash feedback
You can give us all the feedback you'd like we will read every part of it
If we said something you don't agree with, if you said something you do agree with, if you want to tell us your story, we'd love to hear from you.
Go ahead and do that this week.
If you're one of the people that hasn't been in church, can I implore you?
Can I encourage you to find a church and to get plugged back in?
Yeah, I was thinking like I get, I get getting hurt and wanting to leave.
Like I get that and I, you know, I don't know about you, babe, but I've been hurt by church.
  I'm not gonna walk away from God. I'm not gonna walk away from church
So I went and found a new job and I processed it through with somebody that I did prayer counseling with and I
forgave the people involved and
You know, I'm still in relationship with those people and everything's fine
You know, but I mean the other option is
You know, you think about when we've had we haven't had many huge fights in our marriage, right?
But we've had one or two where it's like I'm yelling at you to get out of the house
You're totally unreasonable in those moments, right?
And you're like, or you're going, hey, that's it.
I'm leaving.
The Lord says to you, where are you going to go?
Right.
Like, where are you going to go?
And for some reason, with the church,
we think is now an option where if we were actually viewing
it as a marriage, which it is because we're
the bride of Christ, married to the Son of God,
then we would go, oh, there's not actually an option for me
to retreat and lick my wounds even.
The thing to do is to come back and go, "Hey, guess what, church leader?" or whatever.
"I'm really hurt. Can I work this through with you?"
And come at it that way rather than letting it derail your whole life because you got hurt.
I'm not saying you didn't get hurt. I'm sure you did. But come back and let God bring some healing.
If you'd like the show notes for this week's episode head to alan and aj.com/65.
We hope you have a tremendous week. Yes. Filled with joy, filled with glory, filled with friendship,
and we'll be back here same time, same place, next week.

In the culture in which I grew up, Show Me The Way To Go Home was considered a folk song. Indeed, its melody is likely to be an English or Irish folk tune. My family sang it in this spirit, with little care for accuracy of words or—depending on who was singing—pitch.
When I began this project in 2007–8, I therefore consulted online commentators (I confess: Wikipedia) and found my original suspicions confirmed: the song as a whole was considered as folk. I felt this gave me carte blanche to continue working, happy and carefree.

This fabulous Spanish-inspired recipe is a handy way to use up the carcass and leftover meat from a roast chicken.
For the stock, using your hands, break the stripped chicken carcass into two or three pieces and place into a saucepan just large enough to hold them. (Alternatively, place the chicken bones into the pan.)
Add the remaining stock ingredients, pour over the water, then bring the mixture to the boil.
When the liquid is boiling, reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering, then continue to simmer, covered, for 40-45 minutes.
Strain the stock through a fine sieve and reserve the liquid. (About 800ml/1 pint 8¾fl oz of stock should be yielded. If not, add boiling water to the stock to make up the difference.)
Meanwhile, for the chicken with rice, heat the oil in a separate pan over a high heat. Add the onion and cumin seeds and fry, stirring well, for 1-2 minutes, or until the onions have softened and the cumin is fragrant.
Add the garlic, chilli, carrot and smoked paprika, stir well and continue to fry for 2-3 minutes, or until the carrots have softened.
Add the chopped tomatoes and pepper, then cook until the mixture is simmering gently. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Add the lager, stir well, then bring the mixture to the boil.
Add the chicken stock and return the mixture to the boil, then stir in the rice.
Reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering gently, then cover the pan and simmer for 25-30 minutes.
Turn the heat down to its lowest setting and continue to simmer for a further 8-10 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all of the water and is tender.
Remove the rice from the heat, then stir in the peas, shredded chicken, chopped coriander and the juice of 1½ limes, (or to taste), until well combined. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, divide the arroz con pollo equally among four serving plates. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander. Garnish each plate with a lime wedge.

did you not read the part about each NN having to run dedicated connectivity nodes?
plz try to read what I write
since there are only 16 outbound connections, if people didnt run connectivity nodes to create more outbound channels, it would indeed create some asymettric performance advantage, that is unclear how much of a notarization advantage it will be, but we can assume better performance could only help
so if this became an issue, then all NN to compete would be running several or many connectivity nodes
if you extrapolate things beyond just the first step, you will see that overall it helps the network
the temporary advantage for better connected nodes will force others to improve their connectivity
if everybody did this to every chain, we would get a lot better connected networks for all the chains, but this would be cost prohibitive
i still dont see any real problem here
