I have so many friends and colleagues attending right now, almost expected to read a name that I recognized.  We even have podcast meetings lined up, where we can get together and watch the proceedings online.  It feels like the Superbowl, but for the UMC, and people are actually affected by the outcomes.

Let me tell you, there are a lot of people sitting on the edge of their seats.  We’ve reached a point where the tension over the subject is at its highest.  If they leave Tampa without having made any change, I will be surprised and disappointed.
