"I have said this to you, so that in me you may have peace. In the world you face persecution. But take courage; I have conquered the world." John 16:33



Have you noticed the hay day the media has taken off on? "Stock market has closed at the lowest rate since 1987" or "Unemployment Rates are up to 11% in the state of California" or
"Over 500 people stand in line to apply for a janitor position."

The Sky is Falling... THE SKY IS FALLING!!!

"Chicken Little was eating lunch one day and suddenly she felt a "PLOP" on her head. Golly that truly hurt. (Little did she realize it was an acorn from the tree nearby.) She decided immediately she had to tell the King that the SKY WAS FALLING and she had been hit by a piece of sky. On her journey to the castle, she greets other animals and retells her story over and over again. Her friends, Henny Penny, Cocky Locky and Goosey Loosey all go along with Chicken Little to tell the King the sky is falling. The chickens are definitely all upset and feeding on each others fears. They come across Foxy Loxy on the road. All the chickens are clucking at once telling Foxy Loxy that the sky is falling and they must get to the king. The Fox decides to play along with the frenzied chickens and he joins the pack. As they cluck along, Foxy Loxy begins to eat one chicken at a time, eating the last one in line all the way to the front, including Chicken Little. The moral of the story is when you whip the populace into mass hysteria, some unscrupulous person will manipulate and benefit from the mass hysteria."

The media is the best image of Chicken Little I can see. They are constantly blowing things up around us warning of trouble that is coming.

TURN OFF THE TV. WALK AWAY FROM THE NEWS.
Can you do anything about any of it?

Now it is time for you and me to turn our attention inward to God, using our heart, mind and soul and concentrate on the spirit of God and how He works in our lives. Can you feel His spirit filling you with calmness, joy, abundance and courage? Feel that courage building with in you. You can and will resolve what ever confronts you from this depression.

Trusting in God is primary and believing you are blessed...as you truly are.

Joyfully yours,
Laurie

"Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord God, my God, is with you." I Chronicles 28:20

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...
