More Flannery O'Connor: "Having been a Protestant, you may have the feeling that you must feel you believe; perhaps feeling belief is not always an illusion but I imagine it is most of the time; but I can understand the feeling of pain on going to Communion and it seems a more reliable feeling than joy."

I have decided that, to solve my funeral problem, I will have to get married as soon as possible. I am now accepting applications for the position of "wife". Please spread the word. It seems to be the only way to guarantee I will be buried properly should I die suddenly. I had no real motivation to go a-wife-ing earlier.
