18 x 24 inches Oil on Canvas

SOLD ON DAILY PAINTERS!
Thank you for supporting the arts.



Daylight Saving definitely was not God's plan for us or he would have adjusted the day and night. I asked Terry this morning what states did NOT do it because I wanted to move there. I can't buy into the thought that this saves energy. We are only on real time four months out of the year. Why doesn't Congress just outvote the Lord and his creation and make DLS permanent? I truly dislike DLS.

Last night as Terry and I were trying to go to sleep by nine thirty old time/ten thirty new time, the phone rang. Often the phone rings in the middle of the night and it is a collect call from an inmate at the Dallas County Jail and always that is disturbing as I refuse the call hoping it is NOT one of my children or a relative in jail. BUT, it was our CPA out in California calling to go over our return. Here it is Sat night and she is working overtime at the office finishing up. We got the call because we have to pay this year. She wanted me prepared. This year I will have to plan better to either paint and sell less or put back more for Uncle Sam. Wish there was a candidate running that was ready to fix our tax system. It definitely is broken. AGAIN, I do not think the Lord created the tax system.

Not sure where the thoughts are flowing this morning, but I am grumbly getting up at four a.m. old time, 5 a.m. new time. This is the day that the Lord hath made, I will rejoice and be glad in it...think I will paint now. Otherwise I will fall face first onto my desk in a sound sleep. It is dark and in accordance to the word, it is still night and I should be asleep. Time for change somewhere in my life.

Grace,
Laurie

(There is no mention of Day Light Savings Time.)

It was such a pleasure to find your blog this morning. I referenced it from the daily painters email. I loved the piggy bottoms. :) I was so sorry to hear of your father's Alzheimer's and your mothers illness. I live in Arlington so we are practically neighbors. Love your paintings Laurie.

All you need is a donkey and a windmill - raging against what, unfortunately, is. Love your blog.

I do not like Daylight Savings Time, either, and I think that our time ought to be standardized to regular time across our country.

I hope that your mother is MUCH better! She has many people praying for her and a loving, supportive family. Those two things can do wonders! Hold onto that belief!

If you think back, we always have bad periods, but then they are followed by good ones. Life loves balance, so this bad period through which you are going now is bound to change to a good one. Just hold on!

A Bit of Wonder Contemporary Horse Oil Daily Painting Art by Laurie Justus Pace 24 x 30 x 2 inches of thick buttery oils! Contact me to purchase: Laurie "This is the day that the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it". Psalm 118:24 It was a day of celebration yesterday as Lauren Gracen was born. Stacey began her labor around nine in the morning and was ready to push by 12:15, but they held her off while getting things set up. Took four good contractions with multiple pushes and the baby was there! All grandparents accounted for to count the toes and fingers! My admiration is for my daughter and her bravery and calmness despite the tension and newness of what she faced. I was honored to be there as the baby was delivered seeing my granddaughter push out into the light and take her first breathe... and then cry... and that she did. Terry was able to participate and he and Larry helped with pushing and getting Stacey upright for the process and then Terry was hon...

Arrival...Refrigerator?

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Arrival Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   Proverbs 16:3 "Commit to the Lord whtever you do, and he will establish your plans."   Worrisome times laced with prayers.   The world seems like a scary place lately. Praying for everyone affected by the last two hurricanes.  My adventures today were the result of a dead refrigerator. I have loved my Kitchen Aid refrigerator very much. The first one in the 'French Kitchen' look died at 13 months. Hubby wanted the same refrigerator. Well this one made it four years and a few months. I cannot believe appliances are not made to last longer...but wait, is that because they make more money if we have to replace it in 4-5 years?  You replace your mattress at least every 7 years... and your washer dryer, you might get 7 years out of those... The stoves seem to make it closer to 10 years. We are Lowe's customers, and Robert ...

The Marsh... of our lives? Walking with God.

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 The Marsh 6 x 12 inches Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   I did two of these paintings about three years ago. They both sold immediately to a Florida Collector. Simple and elegant for a horse painting.  Ephesians 5:1-2 "Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma."  One of the biggest challenges in walking with God is trusting Him and not trying to out think Him or to do everything your way. It never works.  The Apostle Paul wrote of his own struggles in Romans 7 .  Romans 7: 22-23 “ So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the ...
