Hey there... the Church of God Convention in Denver is coming up this weekend. Instead of live-tweeting, I'm going to live-document here: https://t.co/dW1Oa4RaWK

#allfansondeck C come sail away!

[David Aukerman @davidaukerman]

@PuzzledPint Roger that! Thanks

[David Aukerman @davidaukerman]

@PuzzledPint Hey there! Is your website down today? Seems like I'm not able to connect to it like normal.

Hey @greatlakesloons , what's the story behind jersey #34 hanging up in the Loons dugout?

[David Aukerman @davidaukerman]

@crazypastor thanks Jason. :)

My workaround: one browser tab with the main thread, where I posted the main posts. Another tab with the latest #SlateSpeak posts for conversation. That worked reasonably well for me.

[David Aukerman @davidaukerman]

Amen. Thank you for joining and participating tonight. So thankful for your presence and contributions, as always. #SlateSpeak

Welcome to #SlateSpeak, a weekly progressive Christian forum brought to you by @TheSlateProject.

[David Aukerman @davidaukerman]

Our prayer: I invite you to take three slow, deep breaths, to the best of your ability.

With each breath in, give thanks for the gift of life.

With each breath out, let go of the need to control, the need to will.

Rest in the glorious, loving presence of God. #SlateSpeak

@klhull143 rings a bell #SlateSpeak

[David Aukerman @davidaukerman]

@gracefulgravity welp. :) I hear you. #SlateSpeak

A4: I've been physically dehydrated, to the point of passing out, a couple of times in my life. Once was on a canoe camping trip where I was trying to be He-Man and carry everything literally on my shoulders.

I learned I'm definitely not He-Man

also to stay hydrated #SlateSpeak

[David Aukerman @davidaukerman]

@gracefulgravity So glad you have your cat next to you. Thanks for being here #SlateSpeak

[David Aukerman @davidaukerman]

@crazypastor it's a little more real if we say it out loud, right? #SlateSpeak

[David Aukerman @davidaukerman]

A2: it's hard for me to let go of the temptation to be noticed, to be important, to Be Somebody. #SlateSpeak

[David Aukerman @davidaukerman]

@klhull143 Agreed... so often it's like shouting into the wind out there. #SlateSpeak
