Okay so I took heat from my daughter. No she is not lazy in the sense of lazy... she is part of the generation that likes Lean Cuisine and the EASE of using it. I am a control freak that makes 98% of everything from scratch. The only frozen stuff in my freezer is meat from MT Vernon and Sheriff Elect Paul Fletcher and his lovely wife Vicki, some old Klondyke bars, and some frozen corn and peas in bags that we use to treat injuries!

On to new things! If you heard the words, LET ME BE THERE. What is your first thought? Let WHOM be where? As a teen in the sixties and seventies I grew up with some truly inspiring music, both good and bad, but of course I loved it all. I played my guitar in church, took it to church camp and also played and performed at an airforce base north of Sherman TX. We could adapt ANY song to bring it into a message, including doing the Lord's prayer to the House of the Rising Sun. But one of my favorites that stuck to me all these years was Let Me Be There. I cannot even tell you who wrote it or anything about it, but the lyrics are engraved in my head. Folks this could be dangerous with kids today with some of the rap lyrics out there.

My thought is that GOD wants to be there. We simply do not allow it, or bring Him into our lives on a minute to minute basis. He wants to share in all of it, the rejoicing, the laughter, the pain and the sorrow. So in this advent week of HOPE I ask you to Let Him Be There! Share it all with Him, the good and the bad. The Holy Spirit that lives in you knows it all before you do. Go to the Father and Let Him Be There. This is the Song of my heart.






Joy and Abundance,

Laurie

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

EXHAUSTED Woman Figurative Oil Painting, Art Deco Painting, Art Abstract Painting, Women in Kitchen Oil Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
