Today is Father’s Day and the Twittersphere is celebrating as only it can. Both humor and wisdom abound.
Happy #fathersday everyone – How are you spoiling the big man today? Nothing says 'I love you dad' better than a a pair of socks. Trust.

I love my dad. He'll be at church this morning, behind the pulpit, so he won't see this, & he doesn't do social… http://t.co/zCpHrEH6

I haven't learned any key to being great father. But I think it begins with leading w/ your heart.

A Dad is someone who wants to catch you before you fall but instead picks you up, brushes you off, and lets you try again.Happy Father's Day
