The real value of this post for me is where Alex discusses the tools he uses to manage his Twitter account. Last week, I had become so frustrated with all of the noise on my account from all of the auto-followers during my blogging hiatus that I started over with a new Twitter account.

Maybe it’s because my wife and son are at the in-law’s house in west Texas this week, but this post really tugged at my heart strings. Too often we look at God as a cosmic traffic cop waiting to bust us rather than as a loving father who wants to hang our scribbles on His refrigerator to show them off.
