Good Vibes

***If you haven't already had the chance to read Jungle Trader's wonderful storytelling, I highly recommend you do so now, especially if you're passionate about reading, but only have time for short stories.

***A big hug for Jewaira for putting the spotlight on chubby chique: Big Girls & the Voluptuous Male

***Just in case you didn't get the memo, our favorite feline blogster (formerly known as Cat in Rabat) is back as La Gatita Gringa.  Hurry up and have a look at what she's up to now.

***Do some soul searching with Sigmund, Carl and Alfred and you'll feel enriched and inspired to dig deeper into the higher powers that map out your very own existence.

Much has been made of the recently published letters describing Mother Teresa’s struggle with faith.

Atheists gravely note Mother Teresa’s ‘loss of faith.‘

Taking note of the letter two years ago, Catholics spoke of her ‘hunger for God’

Mother Teresa did not ‘lose faith.’ She did not ‘hunger for God’ as if she was being deprived of Godly sustenance.

Mother Teresa struggled with herself. She assumed for herself the kind of struggle that only serves to elevate believers.

Firstly, to be human, by definition, is to be something other than God. That means that we cannot be expected to always understand God or His intent. By design, God may exclude or preclude us from ever ‘getting it.’ That includes Mother Teresa.When we accept our ‘humaness,’ we are accepting our imperfections. As humans, we are not blessed with perfection. We are blessed with something far greater- free will. And, we are blessed with doubt.

Sorry, you're going to have to read more here to really get it.
