Dear GYA, Inspirational preacher and advice dispenser Joel Osteen recently posted on his Twitter account, "A true friend walks in when everyone else walks out. A true friend doesn't rub it in when you make a mistake. They rub it out." Whoa, this is great news because I'm always creeping into rooms and rubbing one out.
