Nerd? Geek? Me?

I never thought of myself as nerdy in any way at all, but here lately I have been doing <gulp> geeky things!
I knew something was up when I got excited going through the 'back to school' section in Walmart. Soon I was planning a special day to go to Office Depot for my brand new, professional leather look, never marked in, At-A-Glance Academic calendar! The thought of using this new calendar is refreshing and has sort of a cleansing feel...out with the old and in with the new! Imagine all the possiblities a new calendar year can bring into your life. I even bought a new fancy pencil sharpener....it's state of the art and electric! Of course I needed it for school work this fall. New notebooks, binders, clicking pencils, gel ink pens, rolling book bag, lunch box and, well, you get the idea. Now here's the big kicker...I am blogging! Yep, you read it here first. Rhonda is writing her own blog page. Still learning all about the dashboard. Wow, who knew that turning 50 would change more than just the number of your age. That will be another post later. I have been writing in journals for years, but never considered myself as a 'writer.' Those kind of folks are really smart and kinda nerdy. So here I am, writing stories for my new book that will come out soon, if the creeks don't rise.

Reflector When we rise to the occasion as the Spirit of the Almighty God infiltrates our very being, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished through the mighty working of God’s hand. The wind blows and you do not see where it came from, but you see where it is going. The movement, the direction, of the wind can be seen and felt, just like God’s Spirit that rushes over us and fills us to capacity with His love and inspiration. Be reflectors of God’s grace. Be reflectors of His forgiveness and love. Be reflectors of His compassion. Do these things as a reflector back to God from whence it came. Do not shine in your own eyes or else you will be blinded and not able to see the right path. Always reflect back to Him, for it is He that imparts wisdom, it is He that imparts power and unfailing love. To God be the glory! Inspired by God   Written by Rhonda Norris

Run to the basement

Run to the Basement Run to the basement! Anybody raised up in the south understands what “run to the basement” means and you certainly don’t dilly dally around. Honey, you run! As a kid, when the bad storms came, that's where we would go, down to the basement. Whether we were in the house or outside, there was a way to get to the basement. It was the safe place.  As I got older, a funny thing happened. When I would be going through storms in my life, I would have dreams that a tornado was a coming. In my dream, I would be running back to the house to get to the basement, the safe place. Sometimes in my dreams, I would be telling a family member to go to the basement. I would either go to them in person or call them on the phone. I warned them, there’s a tornado coming! Get to the basement! I felt it was my duty to warn everyone. In my dreams I could feel the wind rushing and see the rolling dark clouds. This was usually during a hard time in my life, my own storm

The "TO-DO" List

The "TO-DO" List I have a to-do list every day. This ongoing list keeps me focused and helps me remember the things I don't want to forget. The beginning of the year is a cleansing time for my lists. All the things I need to accomplish, packed together and mingled with the things I want to do. Some are very important and necessary. Some are timely issues and some are things that need to be done "just because.' Why are these lists of things so important to me? Why do I NEED to write them down? Why do I need to see them on paper and talk about them in great detail, planning for them so methodically? I need to see them because they are already in my mind and planted in my heart. As I write them down, it magically makes them come ALIVE and they sparkle with hope of accomplishment and new territory to cover on this journey of life. So WRITE little heart, write to your heart's content. As the words in your soul pour through your pen and saturate the blank
