How Long Will They Mourn Me

Last updated on: May 5, 2012 at 3:16 pm By Leticia Adams

For the last five years Cinco de Mayo has been one of the hardest days of my life. I have always acknowledged that in some way or another when this day comes up. And it comes every year. But one thing that I have never done is written about why Homer was such a great friend to me. I’ve cried and I’ve missed him, I’ve talked about how his funeral was the first time that I had gone to Mass... Read more

When I Cry More than I Laugh

Last updated on: May 2, 2012 at 9:58 pm By Leticia Adams

Today I woke up thinking of Homer; my best friend who died 5 years ago this Saturday, which is weird to think of and had me in a pretty down kind of mood. I really was sad going to school today. I miss him dearly. I miss laughing with him and telling him all the things that are going on in my life. I miss tasting tequila with him, and thinking of the day that I heard that he was...

What Would Jesus Do?

Last updated on: April 24, 2012 at 2:42 pm By Leticia Adams

I have been thinking a lot about this idea that Jesus does not judge others and I’ve gotten pretty angry about this idea that Jesus is somehow some pansy who isn’t going to judge our actions. There are countless verses in the New Testament that say otherwise. Where does this idea come from and why do so many people think that Jesus is ok with people not following His Father’s commandments? Well, because life is just easier that way. It’s... Read more

Quick Takes Friday Vol. 5

Last updated on: March 2, 2012 at 8:15 am By Leticia Adams

1. So how is everyone’s Lent going? Mine is going pretty good. I gave up Facebook and it kind of sucks. But I find a lot more time to do my homework and to cook dinner for my family. I’m learning a lot of lessons about Facebook through fasting from it. 1.)How much drama it brings to my life. 2.) what it can be used for if you don’t fall for #1 and that if I learn temperance I just...

I am a woman, I am Catholic, I have a Voice, and I will DIE standing up for my Church

Last updated on: February 24, 2012 at 2:35 pm By Leticia Adams

There are times that I wonder what is wrong with me. Mostly when it seems that no matter where I turn there is someone who is saying something that is completely wrong. The last few weeks have been so drama filled that I wonder what is going on in the world. Have we all lost our mind, or is it that we just all know everyone’s every single thought because of Facebook and 24 hour news channels? I mean really……... Read more

Conversion

Last updated on: February 3, 2012 at 4:46 pm By Leticia Adams

There are times on this journey that I forget that I’m ON a journey. There are times, in fact *most* of the time I forget that. I tend to think of myself as “already there”. It’s kind of like saying that I’m “saved” in my mind. Tonight I was reminded that I am actually on a journey and that journey requires change. Constant change and the person that is in charge of that change is Jesus, and then it’s my... Read more

God is Good to Me, even When I'm a Whiney Cry Baby

Last updated on: January 13, 2012 at 5:47 pm By Leticia Adams

It is no secret that I am a little nuts. I am very passionate and emotional all at the same time. If I love you, you will never find a better friend. But if I don’t, or if you betray me you will never find me again. My husband says that with me “It all comes out of the same faucet”. That is true (If you are from Texas and you even get what the means) Which makes being Catholic... Read more

My Husband; My Hero

Last updated on: December 30, 2011 at 2:47 pm By Leticia Adams

It’s hard for some people to understand how someone could go through all the things that I have been through and still believe in a loving God. I had a hard time believing it for most of my life. I always thought that everything I went through was proof that God had favorites, and I was not one of them. 2 years ago when I began going through RCIA to get my Sacraments that all changed. I realized that I... Read more

Every Child deserves a name

Last updated on: December 29, 2011 at 7:47 am By Leticia Adams

Today is the 4th day of Christmas and the Feast of the Holy Innocents. Today we honor the life of the babies killed by Herod in his attempt to kill the Baby Jesus. There are so many amazing reflections on this day by people way holier and smarter than me. There are many innocent babies killed by abortion every day in this country. It is my opinion that many of the women who get abortions and the many who work... Read more

So far I have written about some of the hard parts of my life. There are plenty more of those stories to go around, but on the 3rd day of Christmas I will tell you about some of the wonderful people in my life. They are in all of the memories that when I look back I see that God was with me all along. When I was a little girl and I really felt like I had no dad,... Read more
