Congratulations to Joel Osteen, who tonight tweeted perhaps the worst “inspirational” tweet since Dr. Phil asked if it was OK to have sex with a girl who was drunk. Osteen has some special words for true friends who are experiencing some friction, and it very well might involve some lotions or other lubricants.
