Rhodes to Anywhere

Living the Blessing…. 9 years ago today Dave and I were married at his home church in RockVegas. (Rockledge, FL). I remember the first time we met. It was my sophomore year of college. Dave had asked me to a singing Christmas Tree performance. We went. Talked a little. He dropped me back off and…

We were at church this past Sunday and they showed a clip of this guy going around asking people if they knew the meaning behind Easter. It was shocking how many people celebrate the holiday but have no idea what they are celebrating. So many people were dumbfounded. I know not everyone is religious or…

So here is the deal… The past three weeks I had fallen off the band wagon and it went way on ahead of me. Now I am yelling for it trying to find it…. Do you ever feel like that in life. Here is what happened. Yesterday at church the nursery systems went down so…

Today is Dave’s sister Kayleighs 5 year old birthday. I bet many of you did not know that I had a sister in law who is 5! 5 years ago today Kayleigh was born into a world that did not have much to personally offer her. She was born addicted to heroin with a mother…

I don’t assume that hardly any people read my posts… but I may be wrong. The past few days I have been in conflict again about the whole Ousley thing. To the point where I hate to even blog on it anymore. A very dear friend of mine had shared the other day about her…

We love American Idol and were sad to see Chris Sligh leave last night. He deserved to go but we were pulling for him since he was from Greenville. So farewell curly… it was a good ride for you….. Oh, and we finally got HD on our local channels… Came as a surprise last night…

I just love getting small glimpses of God through small pictures. This morning Emma woke up and did her usual. It’s either straight to the tub or bath. Our water bill at times takes a beating since she always has a bath before bed but equally loves one in the morning too. It’s the simple…

Well… I’m not too proud of myself anymore. I have fallen off the band wagon. I have been eating everything in sight. Tonight I made a body for life chicken casserole and then our friends called and talked us into going to Pizza Inn. You would think I would be conservative with my portions…. I…

Dave is home, the girls are asleep, my house is clean, all is well with the world… or is it? Today has been a day of constant thoughts for me. Started out with my lack of motivation to go to church so I visited Bedside Baptist. It’s so bad. I get a lot of my…
