NewSpring Church in Anderson typically hires from within unless there is a dynamic leader from elsewhere whose passion and vision lines up with theirs...and this is a rare thing. Well, Perry has hit the jackpot and Tony Morgan is coming on staff at NewSpring all the way from Granger, Indiana. I don't know Tony, but I read his blog, and this is what I want him to know about being a Southerner:
If you're Southern, you'll know...
1. The difference between a hissie fit and a conniption.
2. What general direction cattywumpus is.
3. That "gimme sugar" don't mean pass the sugar.
4. The differences between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and trailer trash.
5. Never to assume that the other car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn.
6. It is not a shopping cart; it is a buggy.
7. Fixinto is one word.
8. Ice tea is appropriate for all meals and you start drinking it when you're two.
9. A carbonated soft drink isn't a soda, cola or pop...it's a Coke, regardless of brand or flavor. Example: "What kinda coke you want?"
10.Thou shalt not put sugar or syrup on thy Grits.

What about this rule: Do not wear white shoes before Easter or after Labor Day.
well, being first generation southern, i actually know all those things, though i may not use them in my general speaking. i guess the yankee is still strong with me.
