The Day a Dead Priest Showed Up

Last updated on: August 14, 2015 at 4:45 pm By Leticia Adams

I woke up this morning at a complete loss. I felt as if I was being abandoned by the man that I love more than myself. I was so tempted to yell and scream and cry and beg just like I have done all the other times in my life when I felt the fear of abandonment creep up on me with other men, including this same man. My love story can be a double edged sword because there is... Read more

Life: The Struggle is Real

Last updated on: August 13, 2015 at 3:28 pm By Leticia Adams

The other day I was doing some researching for taglines that people from all walks of life “get”. I am learning how to use Twitter a lot more (because I need to be addicted to another social media platform) and I love hashtags that I can relate to. They make me laugh because they speak to a group of people who have know exactly what they are talking about. Like #GrowingUpHispanic, which had me dying laughing. Some of those things are so...

Rap Music, Who I am and My Mission

Last updated on: August 12, 2015 at 2:04 pm By Leticia Adams

I grew up in a small town in south Texas that would be considered the “country”. There were cows everywhere, I rode horses and got chased by wild hogs when I walked through a field looking for a place to read. I watched Old Yeller in the 3rd grade and it was a movie that was meant to teach us something, not traumatize us. I don’t know if it was because I was already traumatized by life or if that...

Guest Post by Jacob My, Non-Religious, Relationship With God

Last updated on: August 8, 2015 at 7:26 pm By Leticia Adams

It is not difficult to explain my relationship with God to the general public; however, it is quite difficult to explain my relationship with God to a biblically driven thinker. To me, religion and spirituality are two VERY separate notions. I am well aware that for some, this is a difficult idea to embrace, so I will do my best to express myself as plainly and non-offensively as possible. Firstly, I would like to explain my take on religion. Simply... Read more

Taking a Break from Adulting

Last updated on: August 4, 2015 at 5:27 pm By Leticia Adams

I am sitting in a coffee shop working on my first of three research papers. I have been on Facebook here and there for work, the radio show, but for the most part, I have not really commented or anything, which means that I haven’t “talked” to anyone in almost 2 days. I have been researching my butt off, including with researching how to write research papers since I have never in my life written one. Ever. (please pray for... Read more

Watching I Am Cait

Last updated on: August 2, 2015 at 6:40 pm By Leticia Adams

I am watching Caitlyn Jenner’s reality show. I’m addicted to reality shows and I really am fascinated with this story. For a lot of reasons, the biggest being that this issue isn’t going away and I want to know how to deal with it as a Catholic evangelist. Pretending it’s not happening, that the world thinks this is good or turning our backs on people with transgender issues isn’t an option in my opinion. Neither is beating them over the... Read more

About Being Real

Last updated on: July 31, 2015 at 10:49 pm By Leticia Adams

So here’s the deal: I naturally have no filter. I don’t know what it is, but I just don’t have one. For people who love me it’s just natural that I’m going to say something in the conversation that has them going “What the eff did you just say?” and then we will talk it out over drinks and laughs. It’s just how it goes. I cuss a lot, I ask a lot of questions, I say things that most... Read more

How do we face this Evil?

Last updated on: July 30, 2015 at 11:51 am By Leticia Adams

Honestly, the pictures of aborted fetuses haven’t ever really made me cry or anything. They have always made me mad. I fought in the pro-life movement for a little bit and I saw a lot of things that just didn’t seem right to me so I stepped aside and did other things, like work on myself. I watched the first two undercover videos and they did make me mad just like other pictures have. But this last video where an... Read more

Jesus isn't a Fairy Godmother

Last updated on: July 26, 2015 at 11:23 pm By Leticia Adams

I have had a rough week. Truth be told, I have had a rough life. As long as I can remember, I have looked at other people and wondered why it is that I can’t be as happy as they are. I don’t really know at what age it began, but I know that I can’t think of one memory where I didn’t feel like I got the short end of the stick in my life. When I was 3... Read more

UPDATED**** Prayer Request and GoFundMe fundraiser

Some of you may have heard me talk about or read me write about my Tio Roy. He is like a father to me and has always been there for me since I was a little girl. He is sick right now, it is confirmed cancer. The bills are piling up and my cousins are working around the clock to take care of them so I have set up this GoFundMe to help them as well, including hoping to pay... Read more
