"And have them make me a sanctuary, so that I may dwell among them." Exodus 25:8

Mom and I went to Target yesterday. Of course I went with a list. It was a small list to buy Morgan a toothbrush, get some dental floss, some floor cleaner and Kleenex. Somehow I spent $184.00. I haven't been brave enough to unpack the bags, but I know I added Benedryl for Terry, light bulbs, an extension plug, some dish towels on sale, Target brand gallon freezer bags, and I bought some face moisturizer, eye cream, eye shadow....etc. I normally buy Clarins or MAX at Dillards, but that stuff is way expensive. So Mom and I decided to try Botanicals from the Target aisle. That is what is in my bags. I was good, no clothes for Lauren, Stacey or me!

Once home I finished cleaning up and started early dinner for Mom and Terry. I made fresh talapia steamed over lemon slices with fresh tomatoes and fish seasoning, my famous fresh salad with a raspberry vinigrette dressing and brown rice. It was one of those meals where you try and figure out what you want to be your last bite!

For me every day is a celebration of life and of love. BOUNDLESS ENERGY! And I love food, can you tell? When I wake I am normally full of energy, how else would I blog like this every day? This energy is in all of us and multiplies out around us into the world and often results in chaos. In every magazine and on every station on TV we hear about human issues and human nature be it positive or negative. What we rarely hear about or see, is Sacred Nature.

It is so rare on the news to hear good news, or good stories. It is even rarer unless you are on a specific station to be in tune with God's presence in the media. Inner peace begins with God's presence within each of us.

QUIET.

Where in your soul do you find quiet, comfort and safety? In the still of the moment you can feel the indwelling spirit of God. It is here only that you will find your peace and serenity.

Turn off the noise today. Immerse yourself in Him and you will find that peace.

Laurie

"There is deceit in the hearts of those who plot evil, but joy for those who promote peace." Proverbs 12:20

Our big TV in the living room died yesterday and I am secretly celebrating the QUIET! (And hoping it can't be fixed - we can not afford to replace it right now). I will enjoy the quiet while I can....

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' 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

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...
