9:41 | @scottagunn That was George Martin's philosophy at Church Ad Project. Shame it has shuttered. You should sell his stuff. Call him. #chsocm Tuesday February 12, 2013 9:41 RevWeb |
9:41 | @MeredithGould I think that's true for me on Twitter... but not so much on FB #chsocm Tuesday February 12, 2013 9:41 reckshow |

9:42 | T2 honestly had a tough call yesterday with some of the Pope jokes. Some I thought very funny, but some made me uncomfortable. #chsocm Tuesday February 12, 2013 9:42 reckshow |
9:43 | Also, I won't post "us-them" humor: Political humor or other humor that divides us into groups. Counter-productive for me. #chsocm Tuesday February 12, 2013 9:43 rev_david |
