Handing Jesus the Loaves

Last updated on: October 29, 2014 at 12:34 pm By Leticia Adams

For the last five years, I have read everything Catholic that I can. Mostly I read the Catechism and Papal Documents. Thanks to the Interwebs it is pretty easy to read any number of things written or said by any given Pope at any given time in History. I don’t really know how far back the Vatican website goes, but I have made it through a good chunk of Benedict but St. JP 2 has so much stuff that it’s... Read more

7 Quick Takes Fall Edition

Last updated on: October 24, 2014 at 3:15 pm By Leticia Adams

1. I don’t know if I say this in a blog post every fall, but I seriously just lose every bit of energy around the end of October every year. I already have low energy levels as it is, but something about this beautiful mild weather just gets me ready for fuzzy sock, hot chocolate and I stock up on books like a squirrel packs nuts. I don’t know when it happened, but fall is when I just slow down... Read more

How To Love

Last updated on: October 22, 2014 at 12:07 pm By Leticia Adams

It seems like some people think that I’m “ok” with my life in slutville. And that my last blog post was all about me,me,me. Yeah it kind of is, because all I know is my conversion. I can’t speak to others conversions. I do not think that my life was “ok”, if I did there would be no need for repentance, confession or a Redeemer. It didn’t feel good to feel unloved, longing for love, being heart-broken when the next... Read more

Like a Virgin

Last updated on: October 21, 2014 at 3:43 pm By Leticia Adams

Have you seen the video of the singing nun doing a remake of Like a Virgin? No? Ok, well go watch it and then come back. I’ll wait….. Calah asked people for their opinions on it, so I had to blog about it to answer her. I get that a lot of people are going to think that is creepy and I would say that if you don’t like it, then keep moving and don’t ever listen... Read more

7 Quick Takes Vlog style about Wounds, People Throwing Shade and Everything Else

Last updated on: October 17, 2014 at 1:54 pm By Leticia Adams

I need to talk more. I am the most socially awkward person alive right now, so I decided to Vlog my Quick takes this week. It’s awful, but I didn’t want to redo it because I laughed so hard at how crazy I am and figured others may need a laugh. I apologize for how long it is, I know there is probably a rule about that, but I suck at rules. I have a radio interview on Tuesday, you... Read more

The Deaf Can't Hear

Last updated on: October 14, 2014 at 10:06 pm By Leticia Adams

I hear the word “disordered” all the time when talking about gay people and I really would like for people to stop using it as if gay people are the only ones walking around disordered. We are all disordered because we all sin and all sins are disordered. I suffer from anger, laziness and selfishness among a lot of other habitual sins and they are all disordered because they are not part of God’s plan for my life. They show... Read more

Being a Wife

Last updated on: October 14, 2014 at 6:00 am By Leticia Adams

On October the 7th, my husband and I were married for four years. I could say so many things that I’ve learned being married to this man in that time, but the one thing that sticks out more than anything to me at this moment is that for the first time in my life I understand that love is hard. I always had this crazy idea that when you found the right person you would marry them and that everything... Read more

Pharisees and Spades

Last updated on: October 13, 2014 at 12:15 pm By Leticia Adams

I woke up this morning to news of the mid-report from the Synod. Things just got crazy pretty fast from there. Elizabeth Scalia has two great posts up already and then Simcha Fisher wrote this: “The mid-term report described as an “earthquake” is nothing of the kind. It’s a reassertion of the constant, consistent teaching of the Church, and even the constant, consistent teaching of God the Father toward His wayward people: Come to Me. Please, come to me. Yes, I... Read more

The Wounded Bird

Last updated on: October 13, 2014 at 1:04 am By Leticia Adams

I read this book on love addiction called Facing Love Addiction by Pia Mellody after watching an interview that Oprah did with Alanis Morrisette. Of all the things that I have read about alcoholism, addiction, and codependency this book by Pia Mellody spoke to me like none other has ever spoke to me in my life. There is a chart that shows the phases of relationships of love addicts and I almost cried when I saw it. It was like... Read more

7 QTs Things I've Learned In Therapy

Last updated on: October 10, 2014 at 3:08 pm By Leticia Adams

1. Yesterday I was talking to my husband and I said “In the last six weeks since I’ve been in therapy….” and then I realized that I didn’t really know how long I’ve been in therapy so I went to go look at my emails to see when I first emailed my therapist and it’s been 8 months. 8 months is a lot different from 6 weeks! I didn’t even realize that it’s been that long. I have the... Read more
