We arrived home late yesterday afternoon.  Paddy was happy to see as was Ms Vicki.  I love coming home to the trees and the quiet of the lake. Yes we are pretty far out here, but I love it.  

We had lunch with my Dad and brother Bill yesterday and enjoyed catfish and hush puppies. For those of you from the north, hush puppies are little corn breads in spheres that are deep fried.  Yeah, it was all off of our diet... we didn't eat much. I ate one hush puppy and my fish and LOTS of salad.  We also hit WHOLE FOODS for organic vegetables, fruit, tilapia, salmon, and my lactose free Horizon Milk. Can't buy it anywhere local. Bummer... so two coolers handled the fish, milks, yogurts and cheese.  Also picked up my favorite nitrate free German Summer Sausage.  They are forecasting more snow and sleet on Tuesday. We already slated to make sweet potato soup with German Summer sausage and onions.  
Why is my mind stuck on food?  Probably because we didn't really eat when we got home last night and I am starving right now!... Fast blog and in to make some scrambled eggs rolled in tortillas.


World news... I feel like I missed so much when I sat down last night and watched the rioting in Egypt. It is world away and yet we should recognize the dominoes that may fall around us from what is happening around the world.  We cannot physically do one thing to affect what is happening in Egypt, but we can express pure love and pray for world peace.  Many times in the bible when dissension occurred, Jesus would say, "Peace be with you" . When you feel overwhelmed  or moved to worry with what is happening in the world, we must learn to repeat as a mantra, PEACE BE WITH YOU.  


Keep the peace in your heart and your home. Let the love light from this shine into the lives of other you know. His Peace is available to anyone that is ready to believe. It is only through calm thinking that we can truly grasp situations around us as they unfold.  Bless others with the light of your inner peace.  Pass it on to others in need.

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 ...
