On Detesting Cockroaches...

...but loving Tony Morgan's new book, Killing Cockroaches! Last Support Team meeting we were assigned reading and our table stirred when we heard, First Impressions team was given this book to read. The title alone gets a reaction. You have to find out what this book is about!
Jim and I started reading out loud to each other tonight. First thing we noticed was Tony's sense of humor on almost every page in the book, cockroaches everywhere! When you quickly flip the pages, the cockroaches run across the pages. Hey, I voted on Morgan's web site on which cover he should use for the book. The one with the dead cockroaches! He tricked us, thinking they were all dead, and he made us laugh.
We spent some time in his short and to the point advice to bloggers and we came up with a few pieces of advice corresponding to his.

Tony Morgan
  • keep it brief
  • don't ask me to link to your blog
  • stick with it
  • have fun
  • (twice) be you
  • offer your opinions
  • check links often
  • everything you write is read

Jim and Marlys

  • it's called a blog, not a webessay
  • if you have to ask...
  • even if you haven't had Engl 261
  • don't sweat it, or, it's Friday night, I have to blog even if it kills me
  • if you blog, do people recognize you in person?
  • and ID as such
  • the world is changing!
  • pray, rewrite, rewrite, publish

So, it just a few minutes we have discovered another Morgan book that will be fun, instructional, inspiring, challenging. Why don't you get your copy soon and find what it will mean to your life too? Who knows, you may discover that you ARE a leader in the Church! Amazon.com will get it to you in less than seven days. Try it, it's the one with the dead cockroach on the cover.
