Egads, not sure why I am up this early, perhaps because I didn't sleep well last night. After the last Charlie Horse in my leg I decided it was not my time to be asleep. Terry and I walked the dogs for over an hour yesterday! Add in all my standing at the easel and you have the recipe for Charlie Horses. That's a pun of course with my horse art...just horsing around.

Today is filled beyond reason with everything I did not finish yesterday and I believe there is a chance we might see Jonathan our grandson today. On the agenda list, printing of posters, printing of 15 giclees, embellishing them, tubing them, boxing paintings for the The Red Tree Gallery and the Rain Bird Gallery, cleaning house for company tomorrow, grocery shopping and cleaning up the studio. Through in the window man coming to measure and give estimates on top of all of that. I had hoped Terry would do the boxing last night as I had all the paintings ready for spray and boxing. He did not. We walked the dogs and then he sat and enjoyed the TV and Computer for the next 4 1/2 hours. He did mention a few days ago the goals he had for the next two days, so I will wait and be patient. Personally I worked physically until nine thirty last night. Other than the trip to Church and the dog walk, I put in 14 hours.

Went to Church with my parents yesterday and gave much thought to the simplicity of the donkey as the animal Jesus chose to ride back to the city. Not exactly the beauty of the Arabian or the steadfast muscular stance of the quarter horse...just a donkey, a animal we connect with more negativity that positivity. The negative traits of the donkey seem to jump into your mind before the positive ones do. Stubborn, foolish and even those name calling words; But Christ chose a donkey to ride. In the Grand Canyon when you go on the tours, you ride donkeys. They are sure footed and dependable. They move at their own time and they have a secure ride to them. Sounds a bit like God. He is very sure footed and very dependable and most certainly moves at His own time. No wonder Jesus chose the donkey to ride into Jerusalem.

Grace to you this Holy Week.

Laurie

"Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." Zechariah 9:9

"Say to the Daughter of Zion, 'See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.' " Matthew 21:5

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 ...
