The Painting: Visceral application of paint yesterday in this unique approach. The value of composition and balance were predominant over the actual object in the painting. The telling layers of paint truly build the composition outward in a dimensional form.

The Thought: Terry proclaimed today he would be working on the master bathroom. We are both tired of the trip down the hall to the hall bathroom at all hours of the night. We have Tink coming today. We have not seen her in quite a while, so I am in full anticipation of a wonderful day.

I am also in full anticipation of the day we can have this house NOT full of tools and construction. We have lived this way for 18 months now. I had no clue 18 months ago that I would still be working on bathrooms this far into the process. When you sit back and think why was it not done sooner... that is easy to answer. LIFE.

We all have a tendency to bring stuff into our lives. Both physical and mental. Think of the garage that is used to put anything in it that doesn't fit in the house. OR think of the extra room where you can stuff and hide things when company is coming. Or what is it like next to your side of the bed? I keep my bible there, my IPOD is there, the book I am reading this week is there, my Sudoku book is there with a pencil. In the drawers of my night stand are sewing projects, needle work etc. You never know what I might need... from bed.

We seem to cram mismatched things into different rooms of our house no different than cramming mismatched priorities into our lives. For homes today, that have home makeovers. For our lives you can attend seminars on self help in almost every imaginable area. Our lives have become neglected rooms filled with "stuff". Our lives are crowded, unsatisfying and ineffective and there are truly few ways to find help.

Is there clutter in your life you can clear out over the next month? Simplify and bring God back into your life. If you are centered in Him you will not be pulled so violently by the calls of the modern world to have, buy, bring home and clutter up your life some more.

Keep it simple.

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 ...
