Leonard Pitts on God and Mother Teresa

I know He's out there -- somewhere - 09/02/2007 - MiamiHerald.com: "I was sitting on the deck in a chaise lounge. God was floating on His back in the pool.

I pointed to the night sky, a white disk of moon rising magisterially into an infinity of black. ''Nice work,'' I said. God didn't answer.

''And hey, thanks for the weather today,'' I said. ``75 degrees, low humidity, a nice breeze. Well done.''

Still no answer. He gets in these quiet moods sometimes.

''Now I know how Mother Teresa felt,'' I groused, laughing to show Him I was just kidding. Might as well have been laughing at the moon."
