If a strange message comes out on Twitter today supposedly from Rick but has SAM in the twitter name, it's because his account is hacked

Kay Warren, wife of Saddleback Church Pastor Rick Warren, is warning Twitter followers that her husband’s account has been hacked. The pastor has more than 1 million followers. His Twitter handle was @RickWarren, but today it has been changed to @iamsam241.
Warren is scheduled to return to the pulpit this weekend for the first time since his son’s suicide in April.
Update:
A Twitter employee has reached out to the Warrens.
@KayWarren1 @RickWarren need help with the account? I'm here via claire @twitter.com

Update:
Here’s some good news: Rick Warren is @RickWarren again.
Looks like @RickWarren is back to its rightful owner now. Thanks, @Claire!

someone hacked the @rickwarren twitter account and renamed its handle; @twitter restored it at 12:15pm PT, about 13 hours of hacked time
