The Painting: A smaller version of my larger Painted Pony Pulls.

Life at the Lake:  Nothing more but  a trip to Winnsboro to the Friends & Co for a hair cut... and then... tada....The new thing is internet and streaming NETFLIX on our Wii.   Terry loves 24 hours a  day movies on demand.  I have to remind him of sleeping too. Oh, and don't forget about the Lake outside.  Actually he mowed the rest of the lawn yesterday.  It is an acre and a half and the riding mower is needing a new tire.


The Thought:  Streaming NETFLIX, oh my gosh, what more could anyone want?  Well, I am not a movie/tv watcher, so I could list a bunch ahead of this, but your typical citizen around here would be glued to the set with a mini refrig and microwave hooked up with in reach.

 If you really stopped to think about it you have constant streaming access to God.  Do you use it? At least do you use it more than the times of trouble or need?  Our Father wants a relationship with us and if we are disconnected from our 'stream' to Him, we are not participating in that relationship.

The wedding is coming up. Justin phoned and was asking me about songs to do "their" first dance to.   He had chosen two, one I immediately smiled about and that was It's a Wonderful World...because every day was that with Justin in the house.  I also threw in two suggestions, one was Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden.   The chorus is "I want to stand with you on a mountain, I want to bathe with you in the sea, I want to lay like this forever. Until the sky falls down on me."

It is a song about a new relationship, a new beginning with love.  "that we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of the highest power."   ( 24/7... surrounded by His comfort, His love and His protection.)


I truly feel the power in this song and have loved it ever since the first time I heard it almost 12 years ago.   My other suggestion was George Jones, "Walk through this world with me."  It is country and western and not as powerful or as strongly link to God, but very meaningful.

So I close this blog this morning with another part of Truly Madly Deeply. Close your eyes and imagine God singing this to you...


"I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy. I'll be your hope,
I'll be your love be everything that you need. 
I'll love you more with every breath Truly madly deeply do.... 
I will be strong, I will be faithful, 
co's I am counting on a new beginning a reason for living, 
a deeper meaning too..."



His love is streaming to you 24/7. Are you ready for that new beginning?

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...
