OCTOBER  2009
It's definitely fall in northwest Indiana. The wind is coming
off the lake, temperatures are dropping, leaves are
changing colors and the robins are gone. But it's a
beautiful time of the year.
The Rudds are anxiously looking forward  to the upcoming
dates. It won't be long until the holidays are here. Someone
described Thanksgiving as a time when families get
together for a great feast. Some one else answered  "the
Rudds do that every week". : ) That we do!!
Naomi recently was awarded a doctorate degree. The Rudd
University awarded her a doctorate degree in "domestic
engineering". The board of trustees, Rodney, Keith, Shellie,
Amy, Jim and Leighanne have looked at her qualifications
and found them beyond measure. Just a few of those
qualifications are; being a wonderful, loving and unselfish
mother of five. Through births and rearing she never
missed a singing date. The births all came early in the
week and by weekend she was ready to go.
She keeps her house well and makes it a home were love
abides. She has been a model wife, mother, singing
partner, pastor's wife and example for all to follow.
Just mention grand kids and she'll begin the stories about
the most wonderful, smartest, most talented grand kids in
the world.
The accolades could go on and on and on but before pride
sets in I better move on.
Our new project, "Reflections", is doing great. Our first
radio release from the project is "We'll Be Happy". It's being
played at southern gospel radio stations all over the
country.   Call your local radio station and request it.  
If your church or organization would like for The Rudds to
come share the Gospel through song and the Word call
219-763-4915 or go to our website at www.therudds.com.
Check out all the different windows at the website. Don't
pass up the prayer list. The Rudds cherish the opportunity
to lift your needs before the Throne of Glory.
Also, sign the guest book and let The Rudds know if their
music was a blessing to you. Knowing that we were a
blessing and may have drawn you closer to the Lord or
encouraged your christian walk is what it's all about. Being
used of the Lord is our reward.
Blessings to you from, Rodney, Naomi, Jim,  Shellie and
Jim Bob.
