Taste & See: Help with the Pollution of Noise

Last updated on: May 11, 2016 at 1:07 pm By Leticia Adams

When I first got the review copy for Taste & See by Ginny Kubitz Moyer for the Patheos book club , I wasn’t really too sure what to think about it. But as I read the introduction it became pretty clear that this is a book that I need in my life right now. “God speaks to me not in mystical, abstract ways but through the stuff of daily life.” , Ginny writes in the introduction. God talks to me in the... Read more

Lady Gaga, a Cure for the Mondays

Last updated on: May 9, 2016 at 11:01 am By Leticia Adams

I woke up this morning with a picture of Lady Gaga and a priest and a caption where she mentioned the Eucharist being the food given to us from God. I was sure that I was still asleep or reading it wrong. But nope, it’s true, Lady Gaga goes to Mass, says the word Eucharist and loves her priest. It was the best post I’ve read in a really long time. This Mother’s Day I spent the day worrying about... Read more

Hope for Salvation

Last updated on: May 7, 2016 at 9:30 am By Leticia Adams

My oldest son and my Tio Roy were very close. He took Anthony for his first big fishing trip. They had a blast. Anthony spent countless summers with Tio where he learned about life, generosity and how to be a man. Not to mention he learned how to BBQ, which was my Tio’s favorite lesson to teach anyone. My kid is not handling his death very well. I thought that I was at peace with my Tio being in the... Read more

Things I’m Over

Last updated on: April 29, 2016 at 11:11 am By Leticia Adams

#1 The election Look, Hillary is going to win the election and I’ve known this for a very long time. I had long decided that I didn’t care about this election because I have known in my bones that that was the case. But then Rubio entered and there I was all sucked up in the drama. I’ve been a Hispanic woman my entire life so the one thing that I have always known is that our election system is... Read more

Marriages that Can Move Mountains

Last updated on: April 27, 2016 at 12:59 pm By Leticia Adams

I just got finished watching Beyonce’s visual album Lemonade and I’m blown away. First of all, let me just say that if my husband ever cheated on me, I am not going to change musical history unless it’s from a prison cell, so the fact that a woman could make such a beautiful work of art, with the support of her husband, after healing from such betrayal is just simply amazing. I have seen people say that the visual album... Read more

Fear, Discussion and Reality

Last updated on: April 25, 2016 at 5:33 pm By Leticia Adams

Yesterday I wrote a post about the bathroom hoopla. It was shared by my fellow Patheos writers Melinda and Rebecca on Facebook and both of those shares created really great discussions. Other threads weren’t so fruitful and I looked at my combox briefly and ran away. I just buried my uncle, I am not ready for the online flame wars. On Patheos there are a lot of differing kinds of Catholics who are all obedient to the teachings of the... Read more

Bathrooms and Pedophiles

Last updated on: April 25, 2016 at 2:36 pm By Leticia Adams

I don’t care who can use what bathroom, if you let your child go into a bathroom alone, you’re an idiot. I don’t let my 14 year old daughter go into a public restroom alone. There is a reason why women go to the bathroom in groups, because that’s the safest thing to do. I was raped as a child by a mechanic, pedophiles come from all walks of life, trans people taking a leak are the least of... Read more

Today’s Reason for Not Reading Amoris Laetitia

Last updated on: April 12, 2016 at 4:21 pm By Leticia Adams

So you know how the Pope released a document about how to love each other in a family and stuff? Well, you know how I’ve been trying to read it since the minute that it was published? I still haven’t. My uncle is in ICU so I was with him for a few days, then when I got back my oldest son went to go see him so I watched his kids while he went. I have no clue how... Read more

I need to Know how to Love Jackwagons

Last updated on: April 11, 2016 at 3:04 pm By Leticia Adams

I had great plans on how exactly Friday morning was going to go down. Pope Francis was dropping an exhortation and I was going to be one of the first people to read it (well, one of the first among us bloggers who don’t get to read it before it is open to the public) and it was going to be great. I love papal documents. I was so excited, like a kid on Christmas morning. I have a whole... Read more

Interview: Shaka Senghor author of Writing my Wrongs

I am so happy to be able to share with you my interview with Shaka Senghor. I am inspired by his story and I hope that you are too. Even if you think that he is wrong, or that criminals should not have a voice in the way the criminal system works, please just read his answers to my questions. The one thing that I have always loved about Catholicism is that everything we do, teach and preach is based... Read more
