What is that noise? Yesterday Terry called to me to hurry up as we needed to walk down the street to see what all the noise was. I hurried to the coat closet for my mid weight jacket and my long knit scarf Kimberly Conrad made me two years ago... Kimberly I still love it... and headed out the door to catch up with him. We walked south up our street which is a hill and saw quite a few trucks gathered at the top on our little one car only road. There were chain saws buzzing and men having a heated discussion as our neighbor, who is on the architectural committee asked them to cease. They did not have a building permit.

We literally had the fear put into us NOT to do anything with out approval and a building permit from our home owners association. We always obey the rules. After visiting with them we found out they were dozing most of the trees on the lot to build some huge 5000 sq foot home on the lake there. I am glad it does not obstruct our view but it will be way out of character for the houses around here. It also means the next four months of building trucks up and down the roads tearing them up.

It took me a long time to realize that we should be living with much less. Why do we still tend to cling to over sized homes filled with STUFF? Could you give it all up if you were asked to go and serve the Lord? You will one day. With every box we go through and pitch stuff I feel less pressure.

Yesterday I put the final coat of varnish on the image above and then had to sand and strip a canvas. It was the large sunflower painting I had been working on in December. I was not happy then with some of the movement or color and the collector agreed. I took out my sand paper and sanded it and gessoed it. Then I re drew the composition and began working on the background. I stopped about 8 last night as I was pretty tuckered. It was a long long day.

I pray this finds you well and avoiding the flu and pneumonia. On of our sons has pneumonia right now, the baby's father. OH the baby... here is a new photo for her. She is ready to role in her Tinkerbell hotwheel. She has her windblown hair and her snazzy blue sunglasses. God is good, all the time, God is good.

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 ...
