Relationships and Healing

Last updated on: October 4, 2014 at 7:07 pm By Leticia Adams

Relationships are the hardest part of being human for me. I guess if you look at my past it’s easy to see this manifesting itself in so many of the things that I have done. There are probably plenty of reasons for it. For one thing, I was born without a father. I am not sure at what age exactly the fact that my father did not want me hit me. I think it was when I was little and... Read more

7 QTs about Anti-rant Rants, Love, Hookers and Why I'm Crazy

1. If you have read my blog at all, you know that I’m a Facebook addict. I have had issues with being on Facebook for a very long time now. Jennifer Fulwiler once asked in a blog post if you could go back knowing what you know now would you still get a Facebook account, I told her no. Facebook is like the worst addiction that I have. I have never done drugs and I was an alcohol abuser, but... Read more

Send Me Lord

Last updated on: September 24, 2014 at 12:39 pm By Leticia Adams

Mission I have talked about my newest project The Red Door Foundation a lot on my blog, but I don’t really feel like I’ve given a clear look at my vision or its mission. Mostly because it’s still coming to me, but I can give you a bit of what I have since I know that people don’t tend to give money to things without knowing what the point is. I don’t, so I don’t expect anyone else to. Our... Read more

The Red Door

Last updated on: September 18, 2014 at 12:40 pm By Leticia Adams

A week ago today the body of a 2-year-old little boy was found in a shallow grave in South Austin, which is about 20 or so miles from my house. His family lives in a suburb right next door to mine North of Austin, so when the pictures of his bruised body started going around Facebook saying he was missing, I paid attention. It’s been 7 days and some of the facts about his last days have come to light... Read more

Where is The Encounter

Last updated on: September 10, 2014 at 11:22 pm By Leticia Adams

All day I have discussed the issue of Cardinal Dolan being the Grand Marshall at the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. I’ll be honest, I have no clue what a Grand Marshall does and I don’t know any history on this parade or any of the people who have fought to carry a gay banner in it. Like all my posts, this is my point of view, I may be right, I may be wrong. I may be a little of... Read more

Speaking Out for the Idiots

Last updated on: September 10, 2014 at 3:42 pm By Leticia Adams

I do not know all the details on the NFL player who got suspended for abusing his girlfriend. I do understand what it is like to be in an abusive relationship. I wanna put a few of my thoughts out there from the perspective of someone who has been in that place in life. I hate telling parts of my life story and getting the pity filled responses. I am not helpless. I was a victim, I was abusive as... Read more

7 Quick Takes about dreams that come true, dreams that are barely being dreamed and pest control.

Last updated on: September 5, 2014 at 2:42 pm By Leticia Adams

1. So, last week I wrote about how I wanted to start The Red Door Foundation. Well, I kinda did it. I filed the DBA with the State of Texas and got and EIN from the IRS so we are legit and real. We are not a 501c3 yet, but until we raise 5 grand in donations we don’t have to pay taxes. We can’t however give anyone a letter for their donation to be tax-free. I am praying that... Read more

How to Fight the Prosperity Gospel

Last updated on: September 4, 2014 at 1:10 pm By Leticia Adams

Yesterday morning I woke up and read an article about the Osteen Predicament. It was kind of weird because the issue of the prosperity gospel has come up a lot lately. I watched the video of Victoria Osteen’s sermon and wondered why anyone would believe that crap. It is so easy to see that her preaching that our happiness is the ultimate goal of following Christ is completely opposite of what Jesus Himself says in the Gospel. My problems with... Read more

Right after my conversion I thrived off hanging around Catholic circles. I loved being around people who understood what it was that I was going through in my life after conversion. I have some really great and amazing people in my support system at my parish and online. I am very grateful to have so many people who love and support me. People who loved me right where I was, didn’t put demands on me and who did and still... Read more

1. Life has been crazy for so long that now that it’s getting better, I have so much time to do things that I have wanted to do. Like read, watch TV, write, and spend time with my husband. After getting so much support from friends, our parish family, and people who I don’t even know who donated to our GoFundMe account, we are feeling some relief financially. We still have to work on the 2012 taxes and deal... Read more
