The Painting:  This is just a small glimpse of what I am working on right now.   It is a brilliant painting shot full of color and thick layers of acrylic.

The Thought:  This morning we were up early in the hot tub again...before dawn and enjoying the sunrise.  Retirement is pretty nice so far!  What comes next today is in His Hands.


Have you ever heard the expression,  Are you on the fast track?  What exactly does that mean in today's world?  


One ad I saw was referring to fast track of personal fulfillment.  Another was parking at the airport...and yet another was how to "fast track' your fund raising.  Those are but a few things coming up in my internet search.  How do you compete in today's world in the work place, in the market, at home or even driving from place to place?  One of my favorites is the fast track to understanding the web and computers.  I am laughing.


How can you be on the fast track with God? One article in the Chicago paper was 'Serving God on the Fast track.'  This meant fasting...like not eating.  It was comparing the fasting of Moses and Jesus to the fasting of people in today's world... yep, on the Fast Track with God as they go day by day with out food...praying and fasting as they move closer to God.  Good site to read about this:  http://christianity.about.com/od/whatdoesthebiblesay/a/spiritualfasting.htm


Another website for a church spoke of the fast track to God being the ONLY road to God, through Jesus to the Father... that is their 'fast track' in spirituality.  And still another site spoke of a Fast Track to Sainthood under Pope John Paul II.  He elevated 483 individuals to sainthood, more saints than any other pope. 


How would you describe the Fast Track in your life?  What are you on the fast track to right now? What is your destination and your goal? How hard are you working at achieving it?  Finally, is it a fast track to God?  Is He part of your plans?

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 ...
