9:50	AyeshaSchroeder:  T3 we must involve God in everything, which means praying about what we post, considering how our words would impact a nonbeliever. #ChSocM [via Twitter] Tuesday March 20, 2012 9:50 AyeshaSchroeder

9:51	RevWeb:  T4 Since I think this group and others are online faith communities, then YES. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday March 20, 2012 9:51 RevWeb

9:51	TrinityLimeRock:  T4 - yes, because everyone is at a different place in their own faith journeys #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday March 20, 2012 9:51 TrinityLimeRock

9:54	CandiceBenbow:  Mainly I think because of the cohesion to feel connected even "out here" and the desire to spread messages via SM. #chsocm [via Twitter] Tuesday March 20, 2012 9:54 CandiceBenbow
