The Things God Does

Last updated on: January 28, 2016 at 3:45 pm By Leticia Adams

God never ceases to amaze me. Really. I go to the mail to see if any of my pending checks have come in because we are running pretty close to having things shut off again and there was nothing. As I walk back to the house I tell God “it’s all nice and all to say this is spiritual warfare and everything but you know the light company doesn’t really accept ‘God is gonna pay this light bill somehow, I...

Matt Walsh: The Primer for Trump

Last updated on: January 27, 2016 at 3:26 pm By Leticia Adams

When it comes to politics I have gone from right to left and back again. I’m Hispanic, a woman, I got pregnant at 16 and was on Food Stamps and Medicaid for all four of my pregnancies, but I am also Texan and was in my mid-twenties when 9/11 happened while I was pregnant with my fourth child. It was after 9/11 that I began to pay any attention to politics. I was sure that the Republican Party was the... Read more

Reason #2353434 That I love Being Catholic: Snow Mass

Last updated on: January 23, 2016 at 3:05 pm By Leticia Adams

Yesterday thousands of pro-lifers from all walks of life and different backgrounds and religions ( and some with no religion) came together to March for Life in Washington DC. Unlike most years though, this year had a serious plot twist: a huge snow storm was heading right for it. I really thought that it was a bad idea for the March to go on with the weather situation, but as I saw picture after picture come through my Facebook Newsfeed and... Read more

Walking Among Saints in the Making

Last updated on: January 22, 2016 at 1:57 pm By Leticia Adams

Last night I went to Adoration at my parish for the first time in months. I really don’t understand why I am not there every single day because I absolutely love being in Adoration. Usually when I got to Adoration I have a litany of problems that I feel the need to tell Jesus about. I also tell Him exactly how I need them all handled, because I have all the answers and if God would just listen to me,... Read more

Book Review: Freedom by Everett Fritz

Last updated on: January 21, 2016 at 4:53 pm By Leticia Adams

Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Everett Fritz for my radio show on Breadbox Media. He is the author of a book called Freedom which he wrote after looking for a book to help young men live the virtue of chastity in a practical way. I’m going to be honest, I am always skeptical about books that deal with chastity for many reasons. Mostly because I tried to teach my oldest son all about sex outside of marriage... Read more

Free to Love

Last updated on: January 12, 2016 at 3:42 pm By Leticia Adams

Last Saturday my husband and I went to a friend’s and had some wine. A few glasses of wine were just the gasoline that I needed to pick a fight with my husband. It did not end well at all and involved a lot of embarrassing details that I’m not going to write about. My husband and I spent the entire week angry at each other. By Friday I was in the bathroom walking in circles begging God to... Read more

Book Review: My Badass Book of Saints

Last updated on: January 11, 2016 at 2:45 pm By Leticia Adams

Today I’m joining the conversation on My Badass Book of Saints for the Patheos Book Club. When I first saw this book making the rounds I really loved the title. I have always felt that our saints are uber badass and especially the women! I know that men are awesome and male saints all have fantastic stories on how they lived lives that brought Glory to God in huge ways, but I am a woman and having women saints... Read more

Letting Go

Last updated on: January 7, 2016 at 4:46 pm By Leticia Adams

I have often heard the saying “Let go and let God” and I’ve never really understood what it meant. I mean, I understand the words, but the concept didn’t ever really make sense to me. Today as I was cleaning my kitchen I got this email from the leader of my al-anon group with today’s thought. A bread crumb. See, God speaks to me in hints or puzzle pieces and I have to figure out what He is trying... Read more

Hello, My name is Leticia and I’m a Drunk

Last updated on: January 5, 2016 at 4:29 pm By Leticia Adams

Yesterday I was on the Jennifer Fulwiler Show on SiriusXM The Catholic Channel and we were discussing the pressure of being Catholic in the world today. We discussed the pressure from both within the Church and outside of it. I didn’t really get into it, but I feel that pressure most when my life sucks and my spiritual life derails, which is often, like now. I don’t want to be a whiney Catholic who seems to always have a crisis,... Read more

Reality Is Difficult, But It Is Not Boring

Last updated on: December 30, 2015 at 7:57 pm By Leticia Adams

I have been pretty honest and open about my past and I’ve had people ask me why I do that. Some people think that I’m courageous for doing so, but really it’s not me being courageous at all. I am open about it because my whole life is about one thing: testifying about the things that God has done for me because He has set me free. I tried to live according the rules of the secular world, and no... Read more
