vee Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 In case anyone is wondering I replied to DominicanSoul's above post in chat. I think Ive been Excommunicated Looking back I can see my time with the hermits had a theme song which somehow I had never heard before my visit. I didnt know the name of the song until Krissy mentioned it in chat and I was like AHA! Anyway here it is. If the vid doesnt work or you cant watch it for some reason its You Are Mine by David Haas.

[/quote] Who is to say that our "glorified" iimage is a thin one? Isn't that just our society's view that "you can't be too rich or too thin." In some societies, a "plumper body" is more beautiful. Many portraits from earlier times show women with actual curves. And, biologically, women tend to have more body fat and cellulite, so that in times of famine, a woman still is able to nourish her infant. Personally, I've never noticed what Thomas Aquinas' body looks like. Under all those robes he wears, who can tell? And, don't give me this stuff about thinner bodies being more healthy. In heaven, having a "healthy body" won't matter. I don't know what my body will look like in heaven. All I know is that I will be happy with it.

From the descriptions of the Baltimore Carmel I've heard (never visited myself) I think it sounds quite lovely, and if I were attracted to Carmel (which I'm not) they'd be zooming to the top of my list. IT is from a stricter school and has no patience for such things. We play tug-of-war for the soul of vee. IT seems to be winning. Pout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Whoever gets my soul will be the one pouting saying oh thats it? I demand a refund!! The running gag of Baltimore and the Dominicans continued while I was at the hermits where IT would randomly say to me "so are you still going to the Dominicans" and Id reply "no, Baltimore!" and that would be the extent of the conversation. This would take place every couple of days or so with slightly different wording and brought up during especially demanding work etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vee Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I think I wrote before, Im too lazy to scroll up and reread my own posts, that the Carmel in B.C had said I could come visit anytime. I had previously asked if there was the possibility I could do a live-in. Anyway with some mis communication and missed mail later I get confirmation today that they only meant I could be on the outside if I do come to visit. Im disappointed by this news, and a bit embarrassed by my misunderstanding. Im going to mope for a bit. Maybe its just a figment of my imagination but it seems as though God likes to give people a taste of Carmel then makes them go sit back out in the world for a year or two or ten as in the case of Edith Stein. If He wants to test my resolve its working and if He wants to listen to me complain He can have that too! God knows how much I admire and try to emulate the annoying neighbor who knocks persistently at the door in the night until the master of the house gets up, so if He didnt want me to do that He shouldnt have told the story! rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
