 Glazed and Dazed

After writing about shutting everything down yesterday morning, the day found our phones out as well as our internet.  I laughed to myself and knew God was chuckling as well.   The phones would work if someone called in, but would not work if we wanted to call out.  Our internet was down as well. As our little box kept trying to 'call' out to connect... it could not do it.  I thought my grandson was going to melt down.  We all thought he broke it when he was in here pushing buttons. Boy did we all kid him about it. Finally we reached the phone company using my dependable VERIZON phone and listened to the sad recording that the lines had been tampered with and cut.

About a month ago it happened and it was due to teenagers stealing the copper and it knocked out phone lines and everything.  I am sure it was something equally ridiculous.   God works like this in our lives. We are so intent on the objects in front of us drawing our attention to them... and He has to "cut the wires" to get our attention. He has to turn our head another way by creating a major attention getting situation.  I personally do not like those 'happenings'. I always told my kids God hits you upside the head with His baseball bat and you know when you have been clunked. He WILL have your attention.  So do you want to do it the easy way or the hard way?

We are off to Dallas this morning early to Asel art for a 3 x 4 ft canvas for a special commission painting of my pony pulls.  THEN off to see Lady L aka The Tink.  We will spend the night with Tink and return on the morrow.  Carol is keeping the dogs for us so she will keep the house cool and ready to go... we will only be gone 24 hours, so it is not bad.  We are celebrating Terry's birthday at lunch and Lady L is very excited buying balloons and cake.

I will try and blog if I have time, if not I will pick back up when we get back.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
Galatians 6:10 (Read all of Galatians 6)

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 ...
