“The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then work outward from there.” ― Robert M. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

Zow... really going back to 2004 still. This was of a group of motorcyclists from a Church Riding group in Argyle.  Wish I had a better picture that was not so fuzzy. This is not one of my best pieces but it is in my heart. 

I guess it is the state of our nation, or maybe I should say the LACK of the state of our nation.  I will not address politics, but I will address the growing amount of people that lack that special feeling of being part of this wonderful nation.  The ME attitude is huge right now. What is in it for ME?  The younger generation of my oldest grandson, who just turned 19, want to know what is in it for them?  Free College... Free Food... Government Medical.  Do I have to get a job?  

With this election I have grown tired of the same ol same ol from both the Republicans and the Democrats.  I am beginning to realize a politician is a politician. Same old thing.
What will it take to inspire us back to one nation and not a divided nation? 

"Vindicate me, my God, and plead my cause against an unfaithful nation. Rescue me from those who are deceitful and wicked." Psalm 43:1

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 ...
