Success stories:
Foodlink Waterloo Region selected Tilted Pixel for the development of the online version of its highly successful Buy Local! Buy Fresh! printed map. The online version of this publication allows visitors searching for local food to find exactly where to get it through a highly-interface and fun interface utilizing Google Maps technology. Thousands of searches for local food occur each month through the online map, providing thousands of Waterloo Region residents with highly-targeted information on where to find local food. The finished product can be viewed at www.foodlink.ca (select Find Local Food).Wilfrid Laurier University approached Tilted Pixel to develop a Course Manager System for the first year courses in the business program. The Course Manager had to solve the unique problem of managing the registration, grades, and performance for 1800 students every term in two courses with highly complex requirements and course outline. The completed solution has been successfully in use for the past three years, providing capabilities that other university systems were not able to deliver. Extreme care was taken to develop a system sufficiently efficient to handle the student load while employing high levels of security.
Testimonial:
Foodlink Waterloo Region approached Tilted Pixel with an intriguing projecta simple task really. We wanted Matt Inglot and his team to design an interactive website that would provide consumers with every piece of information regarding local food imaginable. On top of that, the site needed to provide an intuitive product directory that reflected both the seasonality and availability of the local harvest and to also have the ability to easily find fresh healthy food as close to home as possible in a variety of retail formats. In short, the website was expected to inspire an entire community to Buy Local! Buy Fresh!This was a project that might have daunted other developers. Especially since Foodlink is a small non-profit serving local farmers not a larger company with resources to burn. Tilted Pixel seemed keen to apply their experience and accepted the challenge with enthusiasm. The completed product was more than just a social marketing and educational website. Tilted Pixel was able to craft a virtual food community whereby consumers have access to the most up-to-date market information and have the opportunity to learn about their food and the farmers that produce it at the same time.
While the innovative mapping component is by far the most technically advanced feature of the site, its the welcoming feel and easy flow of information at the users fingertips that makes foodlink.ca special. Throughout the design phase, Tilted Pixel helped us focus on what the requirements were and how to best achieve them with a set budget. Tilted Pixel wasnt selling us a website. Over the course of the project it felt like theyd become a partner in our vision. Matt kept us on track, keeping the priority on function and simplicity not bells and whistles. (although the site has some of those too!) Whats not noticeable to the visitor, is the ease in which Foodlink can update and manage content, advertising and special listings. Content management is often an afterthought to small businesses and organizations.
In all, Foodlinks experience with Tilted Pixel as a partner was superb. Matts innovative thinking led to an amazing product. Traffic to our new site has grown instantaneously and more importantly customers are staying there longer. Tilted Pixels entire team was responsive, flexible and professional. Foodlink received exceptional support and value for our investment. If you have an idea that needs to be put in motion wed strongly recommend giving Matt Inglot and the Tilted Pixel team a call.

I love our new website! More people are finding out about Health In Your Hands thanks to our greater web presence, and business has never been better! We can now easily advertise events, promotions, provide more up to date information about products and services we offer, without increasing advertising costs. The ease of use and flexibility of the Tilted Pixel Platform has allowed me to update and modify the website in minutes, without paying fees to a developer each time I wanted to make a change. This has saved us time and money, and helped us get our message out to the public so we can spend more time helping people, and less time worrying about web programming.

Dewgong is one of the most straightforward Pokemon in Rose Red/Iris Blue. With a new tool in Amnesia, Dewgong's otherwise barren movepool is suddenly strong enough to give it a niche as an ice-type bulky setup sweeper. +2 Blizzards will hurt and can eventually overpower the strongest of special walls, and Dewgong's 70 base speed is great for this role. However, Dewgong is exceedingly predictable and it will be a target for all sorts of status and attacks. Dewgong is also not particularly threatening without an Amnesia boost, so a lot of Pokemon may opt to trade with it before Dewgong can get out of hand. Dewgong counterplay also tends to overlap with most bulky water types and other Amnesia sweepers, so it is amply prepared for. Make no mistake; a disrespected Dewgong will blow an entire team away when given enough time.
- Amnesia
- Blizzard
- Surf
- Rest
Double your special wih Amnesia when the electric-type attackers are down, and hit as many things as possible with high base-power Blizzards. Surf gives a consistent alternative STAB that can be used to bring checks down into Blizzard range. Rest gives Dewgong longevity especially as it boosts its special.
Body Slam can spread paralysis but it's better to just boost up and hit things. Toxic could help Dream Eater teammates but seriously, just use Dewgong as your win condition instead.
Starmie: This gets a special mention. Resisting Dewgong's dual STAB and having a high chance to crit through special boosts with Thunderbolt makes for an extremely hard Dewgong counter.
Bulky water types: These can switch into Dewgong's dual STAB comfortably and attempt to trade with Dewgong or status it.
Fighting types: The likes of Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Primeape, and more can deal a ton of damage with fighting STAB attacks.
Electric attacks: Electric coverage can cleanly 2hko or even ohko Dewgong. Fast electric types also have high critical rates that can ignore Amnesia boosts.

Spotify API provides an audio analysis feature given the URI of a track. The analysis returns useful information like the duration of the song, the tempo, the energy, the valance, and many other attributes. To generate a mood, we analyzed two attributes: valance and energy. The valance of a song is defined as the musical positiveness. The energy of a song is defined as the measure of intensity and activity. We created categories of "mood" as shown in the image below. A song with low valance and high energy would fit under the negative_high energy mood. To understand how this mood is used to generate art, read the following section.
The computational art seen in the final display is generated by creating graphical representations of functions, where the brightness of a pixel depends on the fuction evaluated at (x,y). The functions generated are randomly choosen and consistant with time, which is how we generate a sequence of related images that create the effect of a moving background. Each of the mood categories (negative with high energy, negative with low energy, positive with high energy, positive with low energy has a range of colors the art can be in so that the art fits the mood of the song.
Open CV is a Python library used for real-time computer vision applications Here we use it to take in camera frames and manipulate them. Open CV's Canny Edge Detection to detect edges in a raw frame. The edges are then added to the correct art image. Simple image addition works here because the edges are white lines with a pixel value of 255 and everything else is black with a pixel value of 0. Thus, when pixels from the art are added the black disappears and the white remains white. For the duration of the song, the art background changes with time to make the background flow smoothly like a video.

I focus on projects related to real time and high performance computing sometime with a flavor of computer graphics. I have worked on 3D model generation systems for high performance computing and human face physiology simulation technologies. I have some experience working with cloud technologies and on software projects as a team member. I tend to work on medium to large projects which covers what I am interested at a given moment. My work is partially available on my gitlab account . Outside of software engineering I'm developing an interest in drone FPV related subjects, an awesome technical sport/fun activity that is developing and proposes limitless experience in the near future. You can learn more about it here. I am currently studying software engineering at Polytech'Nantes (University of Nantes) where I'm finishing my M.Sc (Diplôme d'ingénieur) with a speciality in Computer Science. Feel free to contact me for any question or additional information.
I'm interested in domains where performance still matters, CPU cycles count and thus, physically constrained, scalable software is still being produced. I want to make advanced, constrained tools representing an engineering challenge and with a flavor of academic research.
Worked on a C++ project for probabilistic, graphical and relational models. Did a complete CI overhaul, from build to release packaging, with coverage reports and tests. Refactored modules of the code base and enforced coding standards (style and git branching policies).
Designed and developed an Unreal Engine 4 simulation for human-robot interaction (in C++). Owned the design and development of the project from backend to frontend. Facial animations simulated using visemes for precise control. The solution was hosted on EC2 instances and made extensive use of Amazon Web Services.
Designed and developed a model creation tool for urban climate simulations (HPC) within a start-up of the Centrale-Audencia-Ensa incubator. The goal was to reach near-complete automation of 3D model construction and meshing in Python.
Began my M.Sc. in Computer Science.
Designed and implemented a solution for business intelligence data visualization. Worked closely with the production department manager to obtain accurate functionality requirements.

MILK MONEY A film review by Jeffrey Graebner Copyright 1994 Jeffrey Graebner
MILK MONEY is a smart, funny comedy that presents a very knowing look at early adolescence while also showing a believable and charming romance between two unlikely adults. The film is only slightly undermined by a somewhat inappropriate climax.
As the film begins, we meet three pre-teen boys who are just starting to become facinated and curious about the opposite sex.  There they meet a kindly prostitute played by Melanie Griffith. When her car breaks down after driving the boys home, one of them begins working to bring her together with his lonely, widowed father. The premise is difficult to describe in print without making the film sound kind of lurid, but it is actually handled with a great deal of sensitivity. It is also surprisingly believable.
The greatest strength of John Mattson's screenplay is the very convincingly drawn characters. The very first scene of the film features the three boys up in a treehouse trying to outdo each other with gross comments. The scene generates a lot of laughs from the audience, but these boys also sound like >real< little boys. Mattson has a very good ear for the ways that kids that age really talk. The conversation inevitably switches to an innocent discussion of the opposite sex and this is also handled in a very real, believable manner. This believability is maintained throughout the film including scenes involving other kids as well. One scene that particularly stands out shows a group of young girls observing and commenting on Griffith's character. It was a very wise move to include this scene (as well as a couple others) that show an adolescent female point of view. This is one of the best American film portrayals of this age group in recent memory.
Griffith's character is also very well written. She is written as a good person who has simply ended up in an undesirable lifestyle. The film does not glamourize prostitution in any way. Instead, quite a bit of time is spent on the dehumanizing aspect of it and on Griffith's strong wish to get her humanity back. This film will likely generate some comparisons with PRETTY WOMAN, and I think its biggest advantage over that film is the fact that Griffith's character is not rescued by a client (I suppose you could argue that the kids were "clients", but not in the same way as the Richard Gere character in PRETTY WOMAN). In this film, the character is rightfully shown as needing to get >away< from prostitution in order to better her life.
After giving some teriffic performances early in her career, Griffith's last several films have been very disappointing. This is the best role that she has had since WORKING GIRL and she is absolutely teriffic in it. This character is smart and streetwise, but also has a certain sadness and even a hint of innocence. The character goes through a number of emotional transformations during this film and Griffith plays them all convincingly. It pleases me immensely to see her in such a good role once again.
Ed Harris may seem like an odd choice to play a romantic lead opposite Griffith, but they have a surprising amount of chemistry. Harris' character shows a great deal of love and caring towards his son, but also a certain sadness as he has never quite stopped mourning his wife (who died in childbirth). The warm, tentative romance between Harris and Griffith is very well played and effective. Harris has always had a talent for playing characters who seem gruff on the outside, but with a great deal of warmth between the surface. This talent is definitely on display in this character.
The young actor who plays Harris' son is also very good (unfortunately, I didn't catch his name and it isn't listed in the advertisements for the film). Many of the film's best scenes involve the slow development of the relationship between Griffith and the boy. In fact, the film really could have used more scenes between them. The son's relationship with the other kids is also very well played. He is allowed to take some very tentative first steps towards romance with some of the other kids his age and this is very realistically played. The kid had quite a few scenes that brought back childhood memories.
Unfortunately, Mattson included an unnecessary subplot involving a mobster (played by Malcolm McDowell, in a seriously over-the-top performance) trying to find Griffith under the belief that she has stolen some money from her pimp. Luckily, this subplot is kept in the background during most of the film, but it does come to the foreground during the film's climax. The result is a climactic sequence where the romance and characters are largely replaced by unnecessary action sequences (the film >really< didn't need a car chase). The movie does get back on track towards the very end, though, and this subplot certainly isn't enough to diminish the film's strengths.
Richard Benjamin has had a spotty career as a director with films ranging from dreadful (MY STEPMOTHER IS AN ALIEN) to pretty good (MERMAIDS). This is probably his best directing job, showing good comic timing and bringing out some strong performances. The film is also the first project from the new production company founded by former Spielberg partners Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall and it shows that they may have been major contributors to the general high quality of productions that have come out of Amblin Entertainment over the years.
While MILK MONEY isn't a perfect film, it is very funny and entertaining with a surprisingly smart script and some teriffic performances. It is very much worth seeing.

The most successful attempt at creating
scarcity in the digital realm
without a trusted third party,
Bitcoin is a bearer asset that can be transferred
(over computer networks
using private/public key cryptography)
but not duplicated.
Accessible to anyone,
it is intrinsic to a public distributed
uncensorable settlement ledger,
known as blockchain,
updated with cryptographic techniques
and secured by large amounts of energy
in the form of computational work (mining).
Bitcoin is the digital equivalent of gold:
scarce, used as money,
voluntarily accepted without central planning.
As much as gold has played a crucial role in
our civilization and the history of money and finance,
Bitcoin could be disruptive for the digital civilization
and the future of money and finance.

Similar to the Renderer and File System components, the OtterUI API relies on the ISoundSystem interface to load, play and unload sounds.
Creating a Sound System
In order to implement your own Sound System, create a new class that inherits from Otter::ISoundSystem and implements the following methods:
class SampleFileSystem : public Otter::ISoundSystem { /* Loads a sound with the specified id and path */ virtual void OnLoadSound(uint32 soundID, const char* szSoundPath); /* Unloads a sound with the specified id */ virtual void OnUnloadSound(uint32 soundID); /* Plays a sound at the specified volume */ virtual void OnPlaySound(uint32 soundID, float volume); }; |
These methods will be called by the Otter API at run-time, and it is up to you to ensure they are implemented correctly in your application. A quick overview of the methods are as follows:
OnLoadSound
This method is called when a sound needs to be loaded for a particular view. The sound path as well as its internal ID is provided. Once this function completes, the sound will always be referenced by the internal soundID. It is recommended to create a fast mapping between the internal soundID and actual sound reference.
Note: szSoundPath may refer to the path of the sound file, as it was known during export, or the sound's name if a path was not provided. This is useful if your sound system operates off string identifiers and not actual file paths.
OnUnloadTexture
This method is called when the Otter API no longer requires the texture, as specified by the provided texture ID.
OnDrawBegin
This method is called once per frame, and indicates that the Otter API is about to send render information. In this function you would set up the appropriate render states, projection matrices, and so on.
OnDrawEnd
This method is called once all the render information has been sent, and thus concludes rendering for the current frame.
OnCommitVertexBuffer
This method provides a linear vertex buffer that will be used for incoming draw batches. In this function you would update your internal vertex buffers appropriately.
OnDrawBatch
This method may be called multiple times a frame. It draws elements in batches, sorted by texture, transform, and render flags.
Using the new Renderer
Once the new renderer has been implemented, instantiate it and assign it to the Otter System
gRenderer = new D3DRenderer(); gSystem->SetRenderer(gRenderer); |

Frost atop Doi Inthanon heralds the arrival of chilly time in Thailand (Photos)
by Coconuts BangkokIt’s beginning to look a bit like Christmas atop Thailand’s highest peak located in northern Chiang Mai province.
Pictures from Doi Inthanon National Park this morning show grass and plants covered with white frost, an annual signifier that temperatures will fall across the kingdom in the next few weeks.
“This morning the temperature at Doi Inthanon peak dropped to 4C, creating frost [and] causing much excitement for visitors that traveled to the peak for a taste of winter,” the national park system announced today.
The temperature at Doi Inthanon is warmer than the -1C it was when the frost hit last year, 11 days later in November. That means less frost is covering its plants and trees.
Thailand’s highest peak gets frosty as temperature drops to -1 Celsius (PHOTOS)
The Meteorological Department predicts that the temperature will fall another 1C to 4C with isolated light rain in the upper part of the country for the next week. A northeast monsoon traveling across the gulf will cause heavy rain in the South. High waves and strong winds can be expected this week.
In Bangkok, the weather is expected to remain partly cloudy with a light morning fog. Temperatures are expected to range from lows of 24C highs of 36C in the coming week.

I'll in an AJ's podcast for your Monday.
Most wonderful show is keeping up with the Joneses.
AJ Jones.
Yes, sir.
Happy New Year.
Thank you.
Can you believe it's 2022?
No.
In all reality, I think I blinked and erased 2021.
Like, I feel like 2021 went like a blur.
It went really fast.
2020 was a super slow year.
Yeah.
2021 was super fast.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I aren't most of like the weird space movies
about how things are gonna be like hovering and stuff
in like 2022.
What weird space movies are you talking about?
It seems like a weird space movie kind of year.
You heard it here for our folks, weird space kind of year.
Can we talk us through your outfit
for people who can't see what you're wearing?
Oh, well, we record in a basement.
It's so cold.
And as much as this looks like a finished space, it is not.
No, no, no, no.
This is just poor concrete walls, open studs.
Yeah.
I mean, we decorated ones behind us, but concrete walls.
So there's no heat and Nashville.
I think we have the most snow we have had since we moved here.
It has stayed.
We're now at day three and it's still here.
You worked out the temperature for both all of our international audiences.
So yesterday when you worked at the temperature, it was what?
Nine degrees Fahrenheit?
I can't remember what it was Fahrenheit, but Celsius.
It was minus 11.
Yeah.
So we're always in Toronto, actually.
Oh, yeah, we were twin.
We were twinning.
So yeah, it's quite cool.
The kids have been out in the snow every day because they're just making the best of their, you know, like.
You if I could you'll probably hear move your arms so everyone can hear.
Yeah, you just were in a classic snow park.
OK, that's great.
That's great.
So if you hear that weird noise, it's not the weird space aliens of 2022.
It's just ages winter jacket.
Yes, I'm wearing a sweater and a shirt underneath my sweater and then my winter
jacket and I have my legs wrapped in a blanket.
Yeah.
And I am so cold.
I'm just in my regular shirt.
I will say that this tabletop is
brutal freezing because it's horrible.
I can feel it through my jacket and my sweater.
It's so cold.
But apart from that, the ambient temperature for me is not horrible.
Yeah, you're weird though. This Scottish thing. Yeah.
A huge happy new year to all of you.
I know this comes out on the 10th. What is today?
It comes out the 10th. So your 10 days into your new year.
We are praying that your new year will be absolutely awesome.
We hope you had an amazing Christmas, too.
Amazing Christmas break.
When we left our podcast listeners, we were excited about the Jackson's coming.
We were excited about blowing the minds of our children with the pigs,
Which, listen to remember, I was so far.
It was like my idea.
You were super hesitant.

And we surprise our son with a hitherto unmentioned Christmas present.
Yeah.
Give us our weekly catch up.
Gosh.
So our catch up since then was the Jackson's didn't come because they all went down with COVID.
Womp, wom, wom, wom.
Which was so sad.
Super sad.
- There's so many tears about that
on both sides of the conversation.
So we have planned for a late Christmas in February
with them, but they didn't come.
And so it was a super calm,
like kind of almost boring Christmas vibe.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm gonna stop you right there.
- You don't think it was going?
- Well, not like, I mean, like,
we didn't go out and do big events or like that.
We just basically played tons of games with the kids.
- It was far from boring.
- Yes. - So here's what happened
at least inside my heart. - Okay.
- My emotional roller coaster was,
do you have a state that Jackson's could have gone?
- Yes. - Like feeling all my feelings.
- So sad. - Sadness lonely.
- Yes.
- And you know, I'd so looked forward to,
we're gonna make it to Christmas,
and then the Jackson's gonna be here,
and he's gonna be awesome.
- Yeah, we'd been counting down the days.
- And you know, there was tears and there was sadness.
- Yeah.

Yeah, all of a sudden we didn't have to do the same level of cleaning.
They wouldn't have cared.
We didn't have to make up the guest room, which MJ was sleeping in.
Yeah.
You know, yeah, our house data are like a level below what you want it to be when
guests go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I stayed in pajamas.
I think I got dressed maybe three days out of the whole two weeks.
Yeah, I'd be surprised if it was three days.
We were off hard.
Yeah.
So it wasn't boring for me.
It was super peaceful.
And so when you describe like,
- Well, that's what I mean.
Like it wasn't like we had big events or exciting.
- As somebody who chooses his words carefully.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.
- It was boring, it wasn't boring, it was super rest.
- It was restful, thank you, it was restful.
- And when you describe it, I wouldn't go and do anything.

- Well, I know, but I mean like normally
we've done like a Christmas lights tour with the kids
or we've done, you know, and we didn't do any
of those things either 'cause we were waiting
for the Jackson's to get here to do some of those things.
And then we just never ended up doing them.
But we did, shall we talk about throw throw avocado?
- Oh my gosh.
- So some friends of mine or ours, the rat lifts,
sorry, they're not just mine.
- Hi, Frank and Julie.

- Which essentially is exactly the same game.
- They're essentially the same game.
- Essentially the same game.
- The avocados though hurt less when you get hit by them.
- Correct.
- It needs to be said.
- And it's, I don't know why this
because we learned the throw through avocado first.
- Yeah.
- But it's simpler, it feels like.
- Well, it's essentially, yeah, but it is the same game.
But the reason I got both of them was thinking
that Jacksons were coming, you need to be able
to combine the two games to have like 10 people play.
- If you've never heard this game?
- Yeah.
- How do you describe it?
- In sanity.
- It's insanity, it was a lot of fun.
- It's so much fun.
Like we were playing it pretty much every day.
- Mm-hmm.
And essentially it's a card game where you all have a stack of cards and you're going through these cards at the same time.
And you're trying to make sets.
And but if you make sets that have to do with the avocados, it'll either be avocado dual in which case.
Well, let's look into that level of detail.
But if you get a card matching card with a kind of action activity with the avocado, a full on war breaks out, we're essentially you have to throw avocados at the other members.
Yeah.
Who are playing?
- Yeah, we made a no head shots rule,
but like you essentially you have to move really fast
and try and get people out by throwing the avocados at them.

- You do?
I honestly, I was like, we need to actually
pull the video off of our.
- I actually have to pull the video off of it.
- You have?
- Yeah.
- I think maybe we should add it in for the members.
- All right.
- It's a super fun game.
- Super great for all ages.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
It gets hectic and it gets chaotic and it gets messy real quick.
You're not throwing real avocados.
These are like full of avocados.
- No, they're like foam, they don't hurt.
- And there's variations.
It's either a full out every man for himself,
it's either a duel, it's either,
it's hard to keep track and that's kind of part of the fun.
- Yeah.
- I highly recommend it.
- Yeah, it was very, very fun.
So we played a lot of that.
- Played a lot of card games.
- Yes.
- But I think what the listeners want to know about is
what happened with the guinea pigs.
- Oh my gosh.
- Okay, so first of all, we did keep the secret
for two whole weeks.
We had them in our closet for the whole two weeks
and they didn't know that they were.
- Well, we had it in our spare room for the first week
and then we moved it from the other side of the house
to our closet.
- Yes.
- The spare room still smells like straw.

And Alan, who was like, basically, you know,
he was the, I don't want guinea pigs person,
has fallen in love with the guinea pigs.
- Hold on.
- Right now, is it true that you love the guinea pigs?

- I don't know what you're talking about.
Alan does really like the guinea pigs.
Alan was deeply suspicious that our kids
would not be into them.
- Yes.
- So if I'm gonna be wrong about something,
let me be wrong about the right things.
Our kids absolutely love the guinea pigs.
- They were so excited.
The funny part was on Christmas morning
when we had them come down and we had a tablecloth over top
of where we had the guinea pigs.
And Tia was like, "Is it a pet?
Is it a snake?"
- Please tell me it's a snake.
- She just wanted any kind of pet.
And so the guinea pigs are a huge hit.
Tia still is thanking me at least two or three times a day
for getting a mini pig. - Where's my love?
- I don't know.
I guess they obviously correctly deduced.
- I'm telling you, it's a gateway drug to a dog.
I've not, I've said that before.
They are adorable.
They are very, very cute.
I was super proud of my kids named them Lincoln's Elder,
even though they're both girls.
- Yep, that's right.
- We tried to bath one yesterday, which was an adventure.
- Yeah, they don't like that very much.
They're not a big water animal.
Yeah, so they didn't.
- What I've learned about them is they love to borrow,
and even after being in my house for six weeks,
they're right outside my office.
So every time I walk from my office to the living room
or from anywhere that has passed there,
every time they borrow and hide.
- Yeah, they disagree.
- I'm like, it's me.
I'm the person who care for you, getting me.
And they haven't learned that yet, but.
- Yeah, it might take them a while.
Well, I've watched so many guinea pig videos.

- Making sure I know how to do everything,
making sure I'm watching for the right things,
all that kind of stuff.
And some of them are like, yeah,
it can take them like six months to get used to who has them.
- Really?
- So some of them are faster.
- Yeah, they won't run away like every time they see you,
but they are skittish animals anyway,
because they're used to being prey.
- Yeah, maybe I should start wearing like a full on wolf
outfit around the house.
- Yeah, or that eagle up, it's probably not helping them either.
But anyway, yeah.
- Huge hit, kids love it.
- Huge hit, kids love them.
- You know, we only got two of them.
- Yeah.
- So, and we got three kids.
And so we talked like, how are we gonna do this?
And MJ very helpfully said he wasn't interested
in getting a pet.
- Yes.
and the girls were very excited by getting a pet.
And we're trying to teach the kids responsibility
with the pets.
And so he's like nine.
So we were thinking, okay, the kids are gonna get a present
that's gonna knock out of the park for them.
We need to make sure that MJ gets a present
that knocks out of the park.
- Yes.
- Well, it kind of knocks out of the park,
but it's kind of like equivalent for his heart.
And the problem with buying your kids big presents,
or at least a problem with buying your kids
big presents in our house as it means they don't get--
- As many things under the tree.
- As many other presents under the tree.
Do you want to talk about the fiasco that was our stockings this year or just move on?
Okay, so I had a stocking fail.
I got like the basic things, but I forgot about getting toys like little I usually get little
things.

And of course, there is a like a tray orange, which should be in chocolate coins, which
should be in a magazine, which should be.
But then the rest of the stocking was basically.
Sarcin other.
Normally I have like a stuffed animal and like a puzzle and something like that.
- We did not get on the park in getting coloring books
for the girls, but what did Tia notice?
- Then I got her this same color book as last year.

But trust us, the rest of Christmas is gonna be awesome.
- Yeah, and they were like, that's okay.

- I've just thought that actually
you should be the stocking guy.
You can just talk to me. - I'm gonna be the stocking
guy. - I'll be the stocking guy.
- Yeah, I'll do the stocking guys.
Yeah, I'll do the stocking guys.
I'll buy, I'll be the stocking guy.
Okay, just make sure you buy the right size underwear.
- I might need to outsource that to you.

- And he's quite good at it.
- And he's really good.
- It's quite shocking.
- Yeah, at them.
- And this, I was about to tell the story backwards
and make it sound like we made good parenting decisions.
I think we made a bad parenting decision
that was disguised as a good one.
Like, I think you could spin it as a good parenting decision.

Is it about the size?
- It's about nine foot by nine foot.
- Yeah, it's not much smaller than the bedroom I had
in Scotland.
Like he has a full-on bedroom.
- Yeah.
- And then he has this full-on,
I don't mean literally a walk-in closet.
It's huge with his own window, which he never uses.
- Right.
- 'Cause I was close fit and addressed
with this in his bedroom.
- And so we'd had all his toys and Lego
and everything set up in there.
And I thought, wouldn't it be cool to have his own game room?
Yeah.
And like, Flash screen TV is a fallen price so much.
Yeah.
So I thought, wouldn't it be cool if we just repurpose some of the furniture that we already
have.
Like, he had this old, racy sofa that had been in his bedroom that we were trying to throw
out, but he wanted to keep for sentimental reasons.
So we pushed that in there.
Old speakers that you had.
I had some old speakers.
And the only problem is this is how...
Well, he doesn't know that's old though.
He knows nothing about that.
So anyway, there's present on Sunday, on Christmas morning,
AJ painted the room, she bought some Fortnite stickers,
we moved that sofa in, we hung a flat screen TV on the wall.
Thank you so much to my friend and now neighbor, Ryan,
who helped me, when I say helped me, he did all the work,
I did absolutely, there was no, he assisted me.
- What do you mean he helped me?
- He did it all, there was no power to that room.
So he ran some power there.
But he has this flat screen TV at one end,
a sofa at the other end,
And I think if I was a nine year old game where I would absolutely love that.
Yeah.
So purely it was a dad wanting to knock out the park for son.
Right.
But here's what we've noticed as parents prior to this MJ played.
Video games in the bonus room, which is just an open plan room in our upstairs.
And the sound spills into everywhere else in the house.
Yeah.
And so we're about to have a baby.
We're not expecting a baby.
We're trying to adopt a baby.
Yes.
More on that in a second.
And we're thinking, when we have a newborn baby sleeping,
That is going to be one noisy boy, but the noise level in the house has dropped considerably since he's inside a room within the room.
Yes.
Was closed doors.
Yes.
So that was apparent in when which was an accident.
It was an accident, but so yeah, I mean, he's been having a great time and free.
And it has been nice to not have him because he gets so excited to not have the sound of him yelling about his excitement about what because it doesn't matter what game he plays.
He still gets loud and excited.
I mean, it can be Minecraft.
It can be anything and he's yelling.
- Yeah.
Top tip for parents.
My number one fear about putting a large screen TV
in my son's room is him accessing content.
I don't want him accessing.
- Right.
- Now, we've sat down and told our kids
about pornography and why it's bad
and why you don't want to look at it
and how, hey, you will probably be exposed to it
and your friends will try and show you some stuff,
stay away from it.
It's like, it's death.
But the only item on his TV, the only thing that's plugged in this TV is a switch, which
we can control.
But to my dismay, when I went and bought a flat screen TV, of course, all TVs now come
preloaded with YouTube, Netflix, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
blah.
So here's what I did is we use Eero as our Wi-Fi providers.
You can lock down devices.
So that TV cannot access the internet.
So no matter how hard he tries to bypass the security measures on it or or stream something,
it just will not.
Yeah.
And we also have a camera in that room.
Camera in his room as well.
So we can see what's going on.
Yeah.
And make sure that there's nothing nefarious going on.
So that was Christmas, which feels like a long, long time ago.
It was kind of a long time ago.
At least a couple of weeks anyway.
I suppose so.
Yeah.
I suppose so.
I'm dense update.
Oh, well, you seem to feel like you've really gotten the moves.
down. I don't know if I've really got the moves down. So remember I told you about,
I've been doing this Apple Fitness Plus. I'm trying something out every, some different
every day. Yeah. So I committed to doing that specific dance video every week until I got
it down. I don't have it down, but I can, I'm lot less lost. Just progress.
Yes. Yeah. You were showing us your moves this morning. Here's the second thing I learned
as don't do dance moves without the music.
Because I didn't just look weird.
OK, yeah.
So but good job.
Good job, Danny.
So there you go.
That's our Christmas update.
Hope you had an amazing Christmas, a safe Christmas, a fun Christmas and a glorious
New Year.
Our main topic for this week comes from quite possibly one of the best emails
I think I've ever received.
Oh, there's a listeners question.
This whole episode is devoted to a listeners question.
OK.
And I've got it right here.
All right.
This is from Liz.
Hi Liz.
I'm going to read the whole email and then we'll tackle it a bit by bit.
Okay.
First off, this is Liz speaking.
Thank you so much for your podcast and all the work you do.
I'm not currently a Christian, but listening to your podcast is inspiring me
and moving my heart toward that direction.
I can't tell you how huge that is for me.
I've had to overcome so many judgments to even be at this point.
And your podcast has been a big part of those shifts.
You begin to see why this is one of my favorite emails ever because here we are down in our basement
just talking about our Christmas.
Just doing stuff.
Yeah.
And I'm glad it's impacted people.
My question, plural, or about how to move further into understanding about Christianity and potentially becoming a Christian.
I love everything you guys talk about and I have so many questions.
It is also new to me and I'm untangling 30 plus years of negative misconceptions about the church.
I've been attending some Sunday services at Grey Centre online, which I enjoy, but it
seems like the next steps for me would be to find a local church and to get some more
resources to read and study.
I would love any advice you have about this.
I'm especially nervous about finding a church, as my experience with Christianity in the
past is that it wasn't an alive practice in the presence of God, and that there was a
lot of hypocrisy in how it is practiced.
I would love to find a church that welcomes the Holy Spirit with the healthy culture that
that you speak about, and I just don't know where to start.
It seems like there's a church on every block,
and I can't tell them apart.
In terms of resources, the Bible also feels intimidating to me.
Can one just pick it up and start reading?
Or will I feel really confused and need some more tutoring?
Are there other books you would recommend
to someone who's at the very beginning of this journey?
My heart is so hungry to know God.
I've been down many paths on that pursuit,
but so far none of them have borne grapefruit.
In any case, I realize this question may be of no use to most of your listeners and perhaps
isn't right to air, but I thought I would reach out.
Feel free to edit as needed.
Thanks again for everything Liz.
No editing necessary, Liz, because...
Such a great email.
I love your email so much.
And I know that everybody who's listening, if they're a Christian, they are so excited
about your email.
They are so excited about your question and are probably going to have some answers of
their own.
Sure.
People like you who are listening, who are not Christians,
they're gonna be interested answers.
This is a great email, super encouraging.
- Yeah, or even though there's gonna be people who are like,
"Oh, actually, I have a friend
"that would probably love to know the answer
"to those questions."
- Absolutely.
- That's wonderful.
Are you gonna take us back to the beginning then?
- I'm not trying to just back.
- Okay.
- First of all, thank you so much for listening to our podcast.
I love that you enjoy everything we talk about.
- Me too.
- Yeah, used to be very taco heavy.
We haven't done like any taco reviews recently,
but nevertheless--
- Very sad.
in video games in this season. First of all, I think I would like to apologize and repent really
on behalf of we're both pastors. Yes. Repent on behalf of pastors because you say I've had to
overcome so many judgments to even be a part of this point because you're untangling 30 plus years
of negative misconceptions about the church. So as Christians, as leaders of a church, I am so
sorry that you have had a negative experience with the body of Christ. Yes. I think you know that
that shouldn't be. And yeah, I'm really sorry it was.
And unfortunately, that is like many people's story.
Absolutely.
So, you know, it's not an uncommon story, which makes us super, super sad.
But yes, I mean, we would love to just apologize on behalf of other church leaders that have caused
you hurt or harm or confusion.
Yeah, absolutely. So your question is, how do we move further into understanding about Christianity
and potentially becoming a Christian. The fact that you're even aware of your need is so beautiful.
I don't know where you are geographically in the world, so maybe some of her answers will change,
especially according to resources. Well, I mean, Liz, I don't know if you'd feel comfortable reaching
out to us again and letting us know where you live, like what town you live in. We could see if we can
help in some way. But the reason I bring that up is something that's huge in the UK, that's not so
huge in America, although I'm sure it exists, but I'm not aware of it. It's the Alpha course.
Yes.
And they probably have an Alpha course online. I should have checked beforehand. If they do,
I'll put a link in the show notes to it. But the Alpha course is designed specifically for
where you're at, where people are curious. They might have questions. They want to find
an environment where they can ask questions, where they're not going to be shut down, where
no question is stupid, where you get to explore in a small group with other people. And I know
it's huge in the UK. I am sad to say that I don't think it's huge, at least in our part of the world.
No, I don't think it is huge in America because most people that I say,
alphacore say what? Right. So yeah.
So that would be a great place to start. I'll put Lincoln to show you. I am
absolutely positive with lockdown that they have online resources or online groups that you can
join. But that would be a great place to start. So you say you've got some questions and you're
saying, "Hey, I've been enjoying watching Grace are online. So glad that you joined us online."
Yeah, that's wonderful.
That's wonderful. I'd encourage you to keep doing that. And you said, "It seems like the next steps
for me would be to find a local church." I would say a hearty yes, but you bring up to really common
problems. How do I know which one is good? Yes, so tricky. Where would you say you would start?
You've just moved to a new town. Let's make it slightly different for you. You've moved to a new town.
Yeah. You want to find a good church? How do you find a good church?
Well, I would probably talk to whatever Christians I meet around and find out what they have to say
about their churches, why they go to them, what drew them there, that kind of thing.
Word of mouth is big. And even though you're really new in the process, you can still say,
"Lord, would you help me find the place where I'm supposed to be?" And then again,
and see who you end up or what churches you end up hearing about or discovering.
And some of it might be just trying on different churches.
I don't mean trying on, I don't really love that.
Yeah, church shopping.
Go out a couple.
See what they feel like.
See how they feel.
Liz, the thing that excited me the most about your email is the Holy Spirit is already
working on you.
Yes, absolutely.

Like that hunger comes from God.
So there's a beautiful verse in the Bible where Jesus said, I will not leave you as orphans,
but I will come to you.
So the Holy Spirit is beginning to brew in your heart and he's so good at leading us.
And you might be like, well, I don't know how you hear the Holy Spirit's voice.
He's got you this far.
He can get you the next step.
So as Edgy says, praying is a really good thing.
And I like to prayer aloud.
So if it feels weird to you,
just push past the weirdness, just say,
God, I am trying,
I really want to know you Jesus,
if you're real, would you lead me where I need to be?
- Yeah, and this.
- And I believe the Holy Spirit will help you.
- Yeah, praying is just talking to God normally.
You don't have to know the special words or the,
you know, and yeah, any of that,
it's literally just saying, okay God, you know,
If you're real, would you help me?

- And I would encourage you to stay where you're at.
And what I mean by that is don't try
and make your purse super spiritual.
- Yeah.

He knows already anyway, but.
- Yes.
- The most important thing in our walk with God
is to be authentic.
- Yeah.
- And that's what I hear in your email.
So I would start, like Gage said, ask some Christians,
get done where you are in the world.
I don't know if you're in lockdown,
but maybe go online, look at social media,
find people that you know are Christians,
maybe kind of browse some websites,
maybe watch some online streams to just kind of get a feel
for it.
The key encouragement that we look for are people
who believe the Bible.
I know that sounds weird, but there are churches out there
who don't, but maybe say that they do.
So I'm dressed in the Holy Spirit in this,
'cause suddenly my instructions sound super sketchy,
but find some Christians, ask them, go online,
and then maybe go to some churches
and just kind of try them on for size.
- Yeah.
- And trust the Holy Spirit in the process.
- Yeah.
- Ask them, but yes, getting in a church
would be a really, really good step.
- And community is how we grow best.
So getting into a church and being part of a fellowship
actually is how you best ensure growth.
So yeah, I love it that you're already thinking that way
because I think that's God leading you just even in that.
- And also Liz, again, I keep saying I don't know where you are,
but I also don't know what your community looks like.
Do you have Christians around you asking them,
like they might have a small group that you could join
or like the Alpha Group that I was talking about.
Okay, that's the church thing.
You're also saying, I really can't tell the difference
between the churches and you want one
with a healthy culture.
That's why word of mouth is kind of good,
because you can't fake fruit.
Like fruit doesn't lie.
So of course, you're gonna have disenfranchised people
who maybe come from a good church and had a bad experience.
But on the whole, look at the fruit of the lives
of the people that go to the church.
Or, you know, like what's its reputation?
What's its fruit?
I'm trying to think about that
because some of Grace and her reputation.
Listen, I know that you can trust the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will lead you where you need to be.
Yeah.
And I love that you're even processing them.
In terms of being able to tell them apart, I don't think that's the most important thing to worry about.
A denomination.
No, I don't either.
I think you just want to find a great fellowship of healthy believers.
And I don't think it particularly matters.
Most denominations would say that they're marked by how they interpret certain parts of theology.
Yes. But the truth is most denominations
- And usually pertaining to the Holy Spirit
and the role of the Holy Spirit are often.
- Well, not necessarily.
- Well, okay.
- But most denominations would pry themselves
in thinking that the reason we're different
is because we interpret scripture differently.
And I would argue that most denominations
are different about the way they do things.
It's really cultural fit.
But like all the churches that I've been in,
I've been in a very conservative evangelical upbringing
called the Brethren, then I went to a Baptist church,
then I went to a slightly more open brethren church
and dipped my toes in some charismatic churches,
then went to Toronto, which was arguably
the most controversial church in the world at the time.
And now at Grey Center, all of them would differ
in theological perspectives.
They would all differ some way in the way they did things,
but the core that runs through them all
is a belief that the word of God is in area.
- I know, yeah. - It is real.
The practice that Jesus asks us to,
like things like baptism and taking communion,
and good Bible teaching, and beautiful people,
people who will love really, really well.
- Yeah, and you will have experienced growth
in every single church you were in.
- Absolutely, yeah.
- Which mind, you know, my story is shorter than that.
I only went to two different churches,
but very different churches.
- Yeah.
- But still growth, you know, wonderful people,
you know, a love for the word of God, that sort of thing.
- Yeah.
The word of God is alive, the spirit of God is alive.
So if the church you're going to isn't alive,
you know, the church you're visiting rather,
you might not be the church you want to settle in.
All right, God, I can't wait to hear the questions we get
from that, that kind of interesting description.
Also Liz, we're praying for you
that you found an amazing church
and we'd love to hear what happens.
I would love to find a church that welcomes the Holy Spirit
with the healthy culture that you speak about.
Pretty much every church on the planet
will say that they welcome the Holy Spirit.
- You think so?
- Oh yes, every church would like,
yes, we're spirit led, like every church would say that.
It depends what that statement means to you.

- Yes.
- Again, yeah, look for that.
And you know, maybe ask some Christians
about like, I'm really looking for Holy Spirit
friendly churches that they'll probably not really mean.
- I think it's funny that you think every church would say,
you know, that they're open to the Holy Spirit
because again, the first church I went to for four years,
I didn't even know the Holy Spirit existed.
- And yet they would still say that yes,
we believe in the Holy Spirit
and we would want all our spirit.
- I guess they would have, I never heard it though.
- My mom and dad, our church, a cessationist church.
- Yeah.
- My mom would say, I love our breaking of bread service.
Everyone is so spirit-led.
- Okay.
Okay.
- Like, sure.
I've read enough doctrinal statements to be like,
I hear you saying those words.
I think those words mean something different to you than to do for me.
Yeah. Yeah.
In terms of resources, the Bible also feels intimidating to me.
Can one just pick it up and start reading,
or will I feel really confused and need some more tutoring?
Let's just leave that there.
I'm about to introduce you to a website that is going to so help you.
Yes.
Called the Bible project.
I knew exactly where you're going.
I'll put it into the show notes.
Listen, there are Christians who've been in churches
for 30 years who've got the same questions you,
but they're hiding it.
Like at least you're vulnerable and going,
the Bible seems a bit confusing and overwhelming.
There's people in the church for 30 years
who don't read the Bible
'cause that feels big and confusing.
The beautiful thing about the Bible is it's alive.
So while yes, you can just pick it up and start reading,
absolutely, and the Holy Spirit's well able
to speak to you about it.
I would encourage you to start in some particular places.
Yes, so would I.
What's important to know about the Bible is it's a collection of books, really,
66 books in the Bible written by numerous different authors, inspired by the Holy Spirit,
over about 1400 years.
It's got lots and lots of different literary styles that if you don't know that when you start reading,
you're like, "Why is this thing really easy to understand?
Why is this other thing really difficult to understand?"
to help you to make your Bible reading journey easier to start.

Listen, you could open anywhere and it's gonna be helpful.
But I'm gonna encourage you.
The first thing you need to understand is
the Bible comes in different flavors, translations.
- Yes.
- You wanna pick a nice, modern, easy-to-read version.
- Yes.
- So not these and those and things like that.
- Yeah, off the top of my head,
some of those would be like the message is a version.
- That's easy.
- That's easy to read.
The new living translation is a, they call it the NLT.
They're all into their hip abbreviations
are easier to understand.
Where I would start reading is I would start reading
in the Gospels, Alan, what are the Gospels?
It's the first four books of the New Testament.
- Yes, that's what I get to do.
- So when you get your Bible, there's an Old Testament,
there's a New Testament.
The Old Testament is all pointing to Jesus.
- But it's harder to figure that out.
- It's harder to see that.
The New Testament, especially if you start reading the Gospels,
that's Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John,
It starts talking about Jesus immediately.
I would encourage you to start with the book of John.
The first chapter is gonna be the first part
of the first chapter is gonna be a little bit weird
'cause there's lots of word in this, that, the next thing.
But just stick with it.
Get a modern translation, read the gospel of John.
If you wanna dip into the Old Testament,
start reading the book of Proverbs.
The book of Proverbs is basically like
what you would read on Twitter today.
They're sure, punchy, super helpful things for life.
- Yes. - Where would you start?
- I would have said the gospel as well,
but I probably wouldn't have said John immediately.
- What was your story?
- I would say like just read through the Matthew Mark.
Like, you know, they're parallel gospels.
They don't all have the same stories.
Some of them are telling the same stories.
And all of those books tell you why they've written,
the way they've written and who they're trying to reach.
But so I would say read the gospels
and then I would also say Romans.
I think Romans, well, here's the thing.
- Romans is a huge book, but it's very clear.
It's not--
- I'm gonna stop you right there.
- Okay, you don't think it's clear?
- Well, I do love Romans, so maybe I have an issue.
It's possible.
- Again, you can't go wrong, but anything to read.
And so Romans is certainly good.
And I'm trusting the whole of this British gonna speak
through you, but there are heavyweight theologians
that wrestle with Romans.
If you want, I would start with Luke as a gospel
and then Acts, because originally there were just one book.
- Yeah.
- Right, the same author wrote both of them.
So maybe read the gospel of Luke
and read the gospel of Acts because Acts is incredible.
Blow your mind all the stuff that happens in there.

- A book in the show notes.
- Yeah, they actually have a study by the Bible project guys
that is just Luke and Acts.
So they walk you through Luke and Acts as you're reading it.
And there's like little videos to help you understand,
you know, sort of what's actually going on
in the historical context and all that kind of stuff.
And it's a great study.
- That's a great point, babe.
The Bible app that I'm gonna put a link to in the show notes.
If you're like, I don't know where it's just diving
and start reading the Bible off, it makes no sense.
There are daily reading plans in the app.
I'll look through some and maybe highlight some,
some suggested ones that will,
you read a little bit about the Bible
and then someone's written kind of like a little bit
to go with it, maybe to explain what you're reading,
maybe to ask some questions.
That might feel like helpful.
- Yeah.
- You know, kind of like me doing these dance videos.
If I try to come up with dance on my own,
it would be a nightmare.
But I've got this person who's coaching me through that.
That is the worst analogy ever.
- That's a horrible idea.
But I was gonna say like I just started a new app.
a new like year yearly one.
Yeah.
That the Bible project guys released,
which is a new one that's basically telling you
as you're going through the Old Testament,
every place that points towards Jesus.
Yeah.
Which is one of their newer ones,
but there's quite a few really good ones.
So yeah, if we post them, you could have a look at.
Yeah, look.
But I don't know that you want to start
with a Bible in a year kind of Genesis.
I was just about to say that.

Don't ignore the stuff you don't understand.
The stuff you don't understand leads you into more wisdom, leads you into more revelation.
And because the Bible is alive, and what I mean by that is it's not a dead book.
When you read the Bible, the Bible reads you.
What I mean by that is as you read it, the Holy Spirit will speak to you through the
book and we'll begin to bring up questions and talk to you and challenge you and maybe
confront you, maybe excite you, maybe lead you in places. I'm so excited for your journey
list. It's going to be beautiful. Okay. Will I feel really confused? Need some more tutoring?
Listen, there's still parts of the Bible I get really confused about. I still need to
be sure. I'm friends with a world famous theologian and the other day I've spoken to
and he said, there's this part of theology that he doesn't know anything about.
And I was so encouraged.
This is a man who's probably in his 80s is a world renowned.
And he's just like, I don't know what to think about this.
Right. So, you know, you're not alone.
Well, that same theologian often says, be comfortable with mystery.
Yeah.
You know, that there's things that we're not going to understand.
And I think if you get hung up on what you don't understand to the point where
or causes you distress, that's not helpful.
You know, so yeah, having a notebook,
writing down what you don't understand,
but realize there are probably gonna be a few things
that we just don't understand.
There's things I don't understand, and that's okay.
And I figure if I need to understand it,
the Lord will make sure that I do.
- Absolutely. - Yeah.
- Okay, then you said, are there other books
you would recommend to someone
who's at the very beginning of this journey?
There is, there is a fantastic book
that I think this is right,
The Bible is the best-selling book.
The second best-selling book is Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life.
- Wow, you didn't know it.
- I don't know if that's absolutely true.
- Okay.
- But it's in my head for a reason.
- Okay.
- I'd admit I could have made that up,
but I'm pretty sure that's right.
So the Purpose Driven Life is written by a pastor
from California called Rick Warren,
and it is a very, very helpful book.
And I'll put a link to it,
especially for people who are starting
journey of faith. I'll put a link to it. You can pick it up. I'd really encourage you to read
that. Absolutely. Do you have any books that you would suggest? I was thinking good morning Holy
Spirit. Benny Hinn? Yeah, Benny Hinn's good morning Holy Spirit because I remember reading it and
it feeling like so many lights went on for me. Where were you in your journey? Well, I was probably,
I was saved again in a church where probably there wasn't much acknowledgement of the Holy Spirit
being present and I didn't realize how much he was actually already moving in my life
and talking to me and everything until I read that book.
Wow.
And then I was like, oh, this makes so many things make sense for me.
So for me, I loved that book.
I read it over and over again.
Liz, I'm so excited you took the time to email us.
And I'm so excited.
I want to encourage you.
The Holy Spirit is leading you.
And if you'll just keep following, if you'll just keep being honest with your questions,
If you'll just keep being honest about where you are,
you will find that the Holy Spirit will lead you to the books,
the people and the places that you need to learn about Jesus
and hopefully get to know Jesus.
- Yeah, absolutely.
We're so excited for you, Liz.
- Can we pray for you, Liz?
You're not here, but we're gonna pray for you.
And if you don't want this prayer,
you can skip to the next chapter of our.
But I think it'd be lovely.
I'm gonna pray for everybody who's listened to this,
who wants to know God more.
I'm including you, Liz,
but I'm also not trying to single you out.
just in case that makes you feel awkward.
- Yeah, all right.
- Father, I thank you for the truth
that the Holy Spirit is alive and well and a work today,
working in our hearts to help us understand Jesus more.
And I'm praying for Liz,
I'm praying for everybody who's listening,
Lord, all of us, no matter how long we've known Jesus,
or if we're just in the early stages
of getting to know Jesus, Lord,
would you work in our heart, in our lives,
in our circumstances to coordinate events and people
and books and churches to cross our paths
so that we can know you more.
I thank you, Lord, that you said that you wouldn't leave us
as orphans, but you'll come to us.
And so we're not alone in this world.
We're not alone in this journey.
And I'm asking for Liz, I'm asking for everybody
who's listening this year, 2022,
would be a year of upgrades in our understanding
of who Jesus is, what he's done for us,
and why he's come to save us.
- Yes.
- Amen. - Amen.
- All right, Liz, fantastic questions.
Thank you so much. - Thank you, Liz.
- Thank you so much for giving us a whole episode
to talk about.
If you've got questions, anybody who's listening to this,
you've got questions that you would like us to answer,
go to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>you can just fill that out there,
or reach out to us on social media @allen@ag,
a-l-y-n-n-a-j, and you can reach out to us there.
- Yes.
- AJ, give us a quick adoption update.
- So we're in the process still of raising
all the finances for it, but we're past the halfway mark.
- We are past the halfway mark.
Thank you to everyone who's given.
- Thank you so much.
huge. Oh my gosh, your generosity is astonishing. And it also means that if a situation comes
up, we can now respond to it. Or before it would not have been able to. Because you have
to have a certain amount of finances upfront. You have to have half the money upfront.
Yes. And we comfortably have that. Yes. So that's super exciting. We haven't seen a
situation yet that we can apply for. So again, just so we're connected with like five or
six different adoption agencies. We're on file with them and if they have a mom come in and
the baby that she's going to have matches the criteria that we've been looking at,
they either contact us or post it online and we put forward, "Hey, we'd like to be considered."
Yeah. And we haven't had any of those.
We have to match the mom's criteria as well. So sometimes the mom is like, "Hey,
like one of the ones we saw recently was they need to live on the west coast so it would be easy
for visits, therefore we don't, you know, doesn't work for us.
Or we want the there to be no other biological children present in that home.
So that, you know, we couldn't apply for that one.
So there's there's things where, you know, obviously it's going to need to match
what the mom is hoping for for this baby.
And then in addition, like, here's why I'm strangely at peace with it is similar
to what Liz, I was just saying to you about, you know, the Holy Spirit is leading
you to know Jesus. The Holy Spirit is leading us to adopt.
Yes.
So he's not, he's, you know, he's literally leading us. We've done everything that we
can to get ourselves ready.
Yes.
And so it's in his timing.
Yep.
And I feel peaceful, but I realized I moved from, from not being open or passive, but
like willing, but now I'm like a couple of weeks ago, David Wagner, who was speaking
of our church and he said, you know, said something about barrenness. Like God wants
to end barrenness. And I was like, yes, Lord.
but I want my next child.
And so I'm like now moving to like, yeah, I'm open
and God's time to like, I, what are you?
- I'm excited about it.
- I did say I had another dream.
- No, when?
- Maybe last week.
- Okay.
- A little bit, add a little baby.
- So on one level, like we haven't, you know,
been matched with anyone,
but we're just waiting in expectation
and continuing to raise the finances.
- You wanna learn about our story?

--- title: PUT or POST -- The REST of the Story layout: post ---
After that discussion, a more realistic mapping would seem to be:
- Create = PUT iff you are sending the full content of the specified resource (URL).
- Create = POST if you are sending a command to the server to create a subordinate of the specified resource, using some server-side algorithm.
- Retrieve = GET.
- Update = PUT iff you are updating the full content of the specified resource.
- Update = POST if you are requesting the server to update one or more subordinates of the specified resource.
- Delete = DELETE.
NOTE: “iff” means “if and only if”.

These herby rolls are brilliant with cheese. You could add a little mustard powder to give them extra bite.
Mix the flours with the salt in a large bowl then add the herbs and the yeast and make a well in the centre. Mix together the water, sugar and oil, pour into the flour then mix until ingredients come together to form a dough – you may need to add a little more water.
Turn the dough onto a floured board, knead for 10 minutes then place in an oiled bowl, cover and leave in a warm place until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Knead the walnuts into the dough. Divide the dough onto eight portions, shape into rolls and place onto a greased baking sheet.
For the glaze, blanch the herbs in boiling water for a few seconds then refresh in iced water. Mix together the egg and water. Brush the rolls with the egg mixture, arrange the herbs on top and brush with the glaze again. Bake in the oven for 12 – 15 minutes or until the bottoms of the rolls sound hollow when tapped.
