Greetings from New York! Sweet Tweets is late today — but not because of contributor and friend John Clem, the Director and Media Minister at Catholic Web Services (http://catholicws.com/). He had them in bright and early! It’s late because this mom was out partying with her boys until 3:30 am. Not the hours I’m used to keeping, but so fun! I’m very happy for John’s compilation of the best tweets of this week since I’ve missed so much while on vacation. Here are the highlights for of “not to be missed” stories from this past week (July 19 – July 26):
