UPDATE: UGH…I had a “BLACK” nested style that was being applied. FIXED!

Thanks everyone for all the great answers!
I JUST found the option to “Keep in frame” for para rules. This does the trick! If I need to do a border around a paragraph, I’ll just add an invisible rule and tick the “Keep in frame” option and Boom Goes the Dynamite!

So glad to have this solved. Thanks all!
