A Gay Man Responds to Phil Robertson's quote in GQ

Last updated on: December 19, 2013 at 3:25 pm By Leticia Adams

My dear Catholic brothers and sisters, We have to be a part of the solution, not the problem By that I mean that we all have to begin listening to one another instead of being so quick to anger and quick to get in “our” corner with “our team” against “their team”. We are all human. The Holy Father asks us to love one another and we all know that that does not mean sing around the campfire accepting sins... Read more

Let it GO

Last updated on: December 14, 2013 at 12:22 pm By Leticia Adams

So this week was hard as any of you who read my 7 QTs knows. I went out for a job interview at 3pm yesterday and as I sat in the waiting area waiting for the lady to come get me, I kept thinking about how much I hated this. I hate the smell of nursing homes. I do not want to work in one. I don’t want to be doing any of this. I wanted to be sitting in... Read more

7 Quick Takes Vol 9 (I think)

Last updated on: December 13, 2013 at 12:07 pm By Leticia Adams

This will be a highly emotionally fueled 7 Quick Takes, I’m just warning you now. 1. I’m in this weird place where I am not a cradle Catholic but new converts who are on fire for Jesus and in the Honeymoon stage really make me want to barf. I am sure that it’s mostly jealously that I am no longer in that phase and in the potty training stage for Converts and I have NO DESIRE To use the freaking... Read more

An ex-Hooters Girl's take on Modesty

Last updated on: December 9, 2013 at 11:18 am By Leticia Adams

Modesty was a big issue for me when I became Catholic. I had been a waitress and bartender from the age of 18 up until the year I started RCIA when I was 33. That is a long time. When I was 21 I got a job working at Hooters and I worked there for 3 years. I worked there throughout the pregnancies and births of my two youngest kids. A lot of people have an issue with the fact... Read more

Everyone Has the Right to Find the Truth

Last updated on: December 2, 2013 at 5:00 am By Leticia Adams

You would think that with my past, that I would be the last person in the world sitting in a pew judging someone else for what they are wearing, how their kid is acting or anything else. But as crazy as it is, after my conversion I had a moment where I was a judgmental self-righteous bitch. I guess the reason is because it was safe. That and because I am a very prideful person. My pride is one of... Read more

Being mad at God

Last updated on: November 20, 2013 at 6:47 pm By Leticia Adams

The past few weeks have really sucked. The past few months have really sucked to be honest but on October 26th my husband and I were at Saltgrass Steakhouse having a great meal with awesome red wine to finish celebrating his birthday. We had finally come back together as a couple after fighting to the death for the last 6 months. For the first time since Lent of this year I loved my husband the way I loved him the... Read more

The Unloved Girl

Last updated on: November 11, 2013 at 6:00 am By Leticia Adams

When I was little I got picked on a lot. I don’t really think of it as bullying because it was really just kids being kids. But it hurt my feelings a lot and once we got into Jr. High and I was older it was even worse. The fact is though, none of the girls who gave me a hard time knew anything about my life. They had no idea what I had been through or why it was... Read more

Things that I have Learned from Facebook

Last updated on: November 9, 2013 at 1:26 pm By Leticia Adams

Some of you may be wondering what the hell I’m doing still on Facebook since my epic “I hate Facebook” post a few weeks ago, so I’m gonna try to explain what has gone on. Honestly, I have a serious love/hate relationship with Facebook. My greatest weakness in life is talking. I have always talked way too much. People who know me in real life will be the first ones nodding their heads right now, especially my husband who gets... Read more
