Thank you Michael for putting me onto this.

As usual, John Zahl is 50% right, and 100% funny. This first half of the post will be familiar to many - "The Good Wife's Guide" from Housekeeping Monthly - beloved of best men and fathers-of-the-bride at weddings searching desperately for a bit of humour for their speeches. Scroll down if you've read it - it's not funny enough to warrant another read, but John's comments are well worth a read and his alternative Good Husband's Guide is highly entertaining but sobering at the same time.
If you do not click on this link you will be seriously missing out.
(I am quite entertained by the juxtaposition of this post to my previous one.)
Many thanks to Father Feeologee for this very funny quote which really appealed to me... if you don't get it ask Gaby to explain.
Friend: Hey Alan [Storkey], what's it like to be married to a radical Christian feminist?
Alan: I don't know, you had better ask Elaine.
This latest mini-series is bound to be about as occasional as all the others but as my readers you are subject to my every whim. Unless of course you stop reading. It is my unfortunate lot in life to frequently come up with ideas for books (mostly Christian/theological) which I have neither the time, ability or inclination to write, so I have decided to at least turn these ideas into something, namely a blog post. They are probably not very good ideas, still less original, but they are still ideas. If you have more time, inclination and ability than me then feel free to steal the ideas, but make sure you include glowing testimonials in the Preface about what an inspiration I was to you, and include my blog address so that thousands of wisdom-hungry souls will flock to my pages. I apologise for all the titles being boring and utterly banal, but at least the books would be like a can of Ronseal (let the reader understand).
Most of these books have probably been written already. In which case, if you know of them please email me and tell me what they are called, because I would like to read them (which is why I want someone else to write them, of course). Also, if you know anyone who you think should write any given book, tell them - or tell me.
Sorry it's all a bit theology-heavy. I could also entertain you with some of my ideas for novels of detective fiction too, but then you would all email me to tell me that Agatha Christie wrote one like that already.
From the man who brough you Sean and Gaby's wedding invitation, my friend Mark Hawkins now has his blog up-and-running providing his own unique slant on the world. Mark is a comic genius, although his sense of humour will not be to all tastes. Do visit his blog and discover John Wesley picking his nose, the morality of watching TV and for any students at home with nowt to do over the summer, some nice suggestions on avoiding boredom. Inimitable.
Following the success of Dave Walker's edition of the Windsor Report he brings us the following update on the Anglican Consultative Council currently meeting in Nottingham. Excellent light relief. Do have a look round Dave's sites, there's tons of great stuff there.
