Tom's email read "I saw this and thought of you," with a hyperlink under the message.
My heart fluttered - he thought of me while he was at work? How sweet! Tom never emails me unless it's a two-word response to something I've sent him.
I clicked the link and laughed when the page popped up describing (and showing images of) a 557-square-foot House of Shelves in Japan that can hold 10 tons of books.
Be still my heart!
Yes, Tom knows me well. I'd have shelves on every wall in our house if he'd let me.

My brother Donnie also knows me well - he sent me a link to something he knew I'd love to read about... a 7-year-old drummer named Jonah. Check him out! So cute! (He's 5 in this video - amazing!)
Now I'm fired up to squeeze 'playing my drums' back into my schedule somehow. They've gotten a little dusty lately. (Go to Jonah Rocks to find out more about Jonah.)

And now for my Sweet! Moments of the Week...
Sunday: witnessing more than a dozen teenagers receiving the sacrament of Confirmation
Monday: the contrast of cool lake water and hot sunshine on your body
Tuesday: a dusty rose dawn; finding a beautiful shirt on a clearance rack for $7!
Wednesday: a sky full of storm clouds and a few drops of rain on your dusty dry land
Thursday: a text message from your big brother telling you he's in love again
Friday: unwinding on a shady porch after work with a glass of Super Texan; watching "Where the Heart Is" with your honey (what a sweet movie!)
Saturday: Having friends drop in to support you at your new job; Sean's duck and Tom's slow-smoked beef ribs - double yum! Getting word that Shake Russell was finally recognized as "Entertainer of the Year" at the Texas Music Awards! (Congratulations, Shake!)
Hope you find plenty of Sweet! moments in this coming week. Remember...
"All things pass; God never changes."
