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 OLD PURSE Some things will motivate you to do something, but some things will make you desperately get up and move into serious action. I couldn’t find my debit card! I searched everywhere I usually would have put it. Frantically, I unloaded the contents of my purse. Honey, I mean every speck was emptied on the table. To my surprise, I also found new secret pockets down in the liner where you really had to dig and hunt. I guess over the past few months or maybe I should say a year, things in my purse got shifted around and trapped. I shook the whole purse, turned it inside out, cleaned it all out, to find forgotten items buried deep inside. I also noticed that over time my purse was getting much heavier. I actually dreaded carrying it. It made my shoulder hurt. I even went to the doctor about my shoulder pain, and you know what he said? "I see your problem. You need to lose weight… in your purse!"  I would have to get a buggy every time I went to the store for m...
