Book Review: Tweeting with God

Last updated on: July 17, 2015 at 10:18 am By Leticia Adams

I will be honest, when I got Tweeting With God in the mail I didn’t really know what to think about it. I really don’t care much for Twitter, mostly because I don’t know how to use it. Twitter and Facebook are a lot like Algebra and Geometry, usually people like one or the other. I happen to be a Facebook addict user. But then I got an email reminding me to review this book so I took it off my... Read more

The Fear of Rejection

Last updated on: July 15, 2015 at 9:41 pm By Leticia Adams

Last week I went to therapy and discussed this issue that I was having with people trying to get me to talk about things in certain ways and to see things the way they see them and stuff like that. In the middle of my therapist writing on her white board (which is a miracle since it always works) I realized that I had a serious issue with fear of being rejected. I left my session thinking and I’ve been thinking... Read more

What are We?

Last updated on: July 8, 2015 at 4:09 pm By Leticia Adams

First a quick line about “why” I have Jacob posting on my blog. There really isn’t a “why”. I asked him a question and he had an interesting answer that I liked and wanted to hear more of his thoughts. I thought I would share them with others. That’s pretty much it. I think that a lot of times it is easy to discuss issues and forget that what we are really talking about are human beings with thoughts, feelings,... Read more

Guest Post: What Is Love!? (Baby Don’t Hurt Me) by Jacob

Last updated on: July 3, 2015 at 12:31 pm By Leticia Adams

I have asked a friend of mine (my best friend’s son actually) a few questions and he has agreed to answer them and let me post his answers on my blog. The point of this is so that people can try to listen to what a gay man has to say on issues such as love, marriage, God, life and anything else that comes up. Debate is not the point. A lot of people think that is closing down discussion,... Read more

Catholicism Is Not a Set of Rules, but a Response

Last updated on: July 2, 2015 at 12:49 pm By Leticia Adams

I seriously need a 12 step program to help me get past my addiction to Facebook. I have only been in two threads in a week and posted a few updates because it is difficult to not be on social media when you are a blogger. I love blogging because it allows me to be on Facebook practice writing. The saddest part about the new way my addiction to Facebook is manifesting is that I feel like a loser for... Read more

Guest Post: #LoveWins

Last updated on: July 1, 2015 at 2:49 pm By Leticia Adams

Jacob has guest posted on my blog before when he shared his letter to A&E over the comments of Phil Robertson and yesterday I asked him what he thought of this blog post over at Aggie Catholic and he did. In his thoughts he mentioned love and God and I found his thoughts to be interesting so I asked him if he would elaborate on them and write something up for my blog. The main reason that I wanted him to... Read more

My Peace

Last updated on: June 30, 2015 at 9:36 am By Leticia Adams

In the last couple of years my life has been chaos. I blamed God for a lot of it because when you don’t really wanna take a long hard look at yourself, blaming God is the way to go and He is always merciful and takes it. Just like Jesus took it when the soldiers mocked Him and spat on Him. When He stood before Pilot He said “you have no power over me that has not been granted to... Read more

My Last Resort

Last updated on: June 29, 2015 at 1:28 pm By Leticia Adams

Yesterday’s Gospel reading for Mass included a story of a woman who has suffered from hemorrhaging for twelve years. She was supposed to be isolated from everyone and yet she had the courage to seek out Jesus and touch His clothes so that she could be healed. She had enough faith to know that she just had to touch His garments and He could heal her and she also had the stubbornness of faith to get past everyone else in... Read more

It's Not About the environment, it is About Love

Last updated on: June 19, 2015 at 5:11 pm By Leticia Adams

I have spent the last 6 days in bed with a horrible cold that turned into a double ear infection, a chest cough and I’ve been battling a fever and chills the whole week. My insurance hasn’t been paid for so there was no way that I could afford to go to the doctor and then a friend reminded me that my parish has a community clinic that sees people who don’t have insurance or way to afford a doctor....

Making Breakfast, Going to Mass and my Failure to Love

Last updated on: June 13, 2015 at 2:03 pm By Leticia Adams

I have had this book on St. Therese for a pretty long time. In the chaos of life, both good and bad chaos, I have fallen very behind in my reading. I’m also in school now for a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and taking three summer classes, so I am reading a lot, but it’s for class which is very different even if I do love it. But this book has been calling me. Every day that I wake up,... Read more
