...Thank you for your story. much of it dealt with Mother Teresa's sense that she could not feel God's presence. Feelings are an enemy of faith. If you rely on feelings, you won't have faith and will not be able to do the things Teresa did. The Bible says "The just shall live by faith," not feelings. Jesus said he would never forsake those who are his. He did not say they would feel his presence. Feelings and emotions last only as long as everything else on this earth. God's word, faith, hope and love last...
...into the semis - could be attributed to the Kiwis crumbling. Former All Black Eric Rush says he saw that loss coming after speaking to a few of the players in the lead-up.

No one knew she was that tormented." Recalls Kolodiejchuk, Come Be My Light's editor: "I read one letter to the Sisters...
...Giuliani dealt with major emergencies on a regular basis. He had time to prepare his city for a major calamity. But did he do all that he could? Much has been made of the fact that Giuliani's state-of-the-art emergency command center was rendered useless on the day of the attacks. The $13 million center was in the World Trade Center complex, on the 23rd floor of Building 7, which collapsed that day. When I asked Giuliani three years after 9/11 if it had been a mistake to place the command center in a known terrorist target...
