Mrs Rhonda Alps, 89 years of age, died alone in her home on a Sat. . When the state authorities made their initial inquiry of Mrs Alps’ home, they found a undoubted “pigpen. The largest mess you can imagine.” The girl had pleaded food from neighbors’ back doors and gotten what clothing she had from the Sally Army.

Amid the jumble of her soiled, disheveled effects, the officers found 2 keys to safe-deposit boxes at 2 different local banks. In the 1st box were over seven hundred ATT stock certificates, and hundreds of other valuable certificates, bonds, and solid fiscal stocks, not to mention a pile of money adding up to nearly $200,000. Adding the net worth of both boxes, they found well over 1 million dollars.

The radio correspondent commented the estate would doubtless go to a distant niece and nephew, neither of whom dreamed their aunt had a thin dime to her name. Don’t you wonder about this woman? Why, oh, why would anyone salt away all that bread in 2 small boxes, month after month, year by year, and refuse to spend even enough for food to remain alive? Fact is, Rhonda Alps wasn’t saving her cash ; she was worshiping it.

Gaining a twisted satisfaction out of watching the stacks grow higher as she shuffled along the streets wearing the garb of a beggar. Rodney Howard Browne explains that it is okay to be a firm follower in saving, investing, intelligent spending, and smart money management. Never have I seen one who could dream broad dreams or see huge visions of what God can do despite man’s restrictions.

Magnanimous giants with God who get pumped up about deserting themselves to Him. The name of the game isn’t CAUTION, it’s still VISION, isn’t it? Appears like I read somewhere that those without it perish. Rodney Howard Browne points out that when they buried Rhonda Alps, she did not take a penny with her.
