After much careful deliberation, the judges (OK, JUDGE) has decided who to award the final Warnie of the year to. Warnies are merely a sign that I like and read a particular blog and think that more of you should read it. I am not always good at spotting up and coming blogs, but at least some of the previous warnie winners now win as many if not more readers as me for which I am very grateful.

So, please applaud loudly as I get to the announcement that you have all (OK, a few of you....!) beenw waiting for. The latest warnie goes to a man who loves the gospel, loves the church and loves God. A man who's accomplishments unbeknown to him include finally pursuading me that a three-column website can look nice. A man who can even get away with a black background on his site and look cool. A man who finally swung the vote with this fantastic post which should have been entitled "dont you dare insult MY bride!".

Please clap and link wildly to the inimitable, Mark Lauterbach of The Gospel Driven Life.

Mark's prize includes-The right to place a "Warnie Award Winner" sticker on his blog
-Being added to some of the other Warnie Award Winner's blogrolls automatically
-Being included in the Warnie Award Winners aggregator
-Lots of links (I hope!) from many of you congratulating him on the award
-Hopefully lots more readers!

And most importantly the sense of accomplishment with a wry smile that only receiving a warnie award can acheive!
