The Butterfly Effect

I am at Mom's... writing Saturday's blog late. I didn't think I would get to blog today. Unfortunately I am Dallas for health issues...another reason I was not in Denver.  Spent the morning at our Doctor's office...but am back at Moms.  We were blessed Carol is housesitting the dogs.  Don't know what I would do with out her.

Have you read about the Butterfly Effect? Constantly in my blog I write about smiling at someone you don't know during the day.  WHY? It relates to the Butterfly Effect.

According to Wikipedia...
"In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions; where a small change at one place in a nonlinear system can result in large differences to a later state. For example, the presence or absence of a butterfly flapping its wings could lead to creation or absence of a hurricane.
Although the butterfly effect may appear to be an esoteric and unusual behavior, it is exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position.
The term "butterfly effect" itself is related to the meteorological work of Edward Lorenz, who popularized the term.
The butterfly effect is a common trope in fiction when presenting scenarios involving time travel and with "what if" cases where one storyline diverges at the moment of a seemingly minor event resulting in two significantly different outcomes."

Now that you made it through that scientific explanation... see if you can find the book, " The Butterfly Effect" by Andy Andrews.  It addresses WHY your life matters.  One smile can change someone's day... and how they react to things happening that day change their lives and those changes affect the lives of others... It continues no different than throwing a rock in the water and watching the waves expand and circle out.  But with the butterfly effect it never ends... the waves keep going for eternity.  The book covers some of those happenings in American history to serve as examples that have created the life we live today and how drastically different our lives would have been with out one single motion of one person. It is a short read of about 15 minutes...but worth one book to share in the family and pass on to friends.

The Book is $7.95 on Amazon. Here is a link to The Butterfly Effect by Andy Andrews.

Andy does other writing and sharing on his website. You might visit that as well.  Andy Andrews on the Web

On the heavy side of our lives... the trees are dying in east Texas. As we drove in this morning from the woods of east Texas, trees are dying everywhere. We are in desperate need of rain. Out where Debbie Lincoln lives west of Fort Worth, cattle are dropping dead everywhere.  We fortunately have more trees where we are and it has not hit here that bad.  Texas needs rain...we are all praying.

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 ...
