Pope Francis is visiting the United States for six days this week, taking a tour of Washington, DC, New York City and Philadelphia. On Thursday, Kentucky Wildcats coach John Calipari tweeted that he’d be watching the Pope address Congress:
John Calipari went to see the Pope, is probably recruiting the Pope
Headed to see the pope. I'll be in the gallery for this momentous occasion to see a true servant leader, one who puts our most needy first!

Coach #Cal is in the House for #PopeFrancis. Pope is the only person who recruits better than Cal . pic.twitter.com/jO1UgRsO5g

In any case, hopefully Calipari had a wonderful time hearing the Pope, because we could use a lot more of his philosophical tweets like this one:
Walking on the beach this morning, doing a little thinking when I saw footprints in the sand. Reminded me of the poem Footprints in the Sand
