The only ghost that lives in this home is the Holy Ghost.

I skipped posting a painting for Halloween, but I am posting the 'art' of carving.  I normally do not post on Mondays but had this photo from a few years ago and I love it.  We usually have a pumpkin carving or a GOURD party, Bring your own Gourd.... guests brought their favorite gourds and some brought little jigsaws to use on them.  It is always fun and Terry cooks up the best chili. Could not do it this year as we have had zero time to work on the house and the backyard taking care of baby Noah. 

When I think of the Holy Ghost for me... I believe that is the part of God that lives inside of me spiritually.  God is everywhere... and the spirit of the Holy Ghost is here all the time inside my body, heart and mind.  This presence is felt throughout the day and night. God has always been generous with His love and gifts.  For Terry and I, we celebrate His Word each day and make it the thread that creates the fabric of our lives. Each day I read a bit from different areas and spend time in the book as a whole grasping the overall feeling and not just 'grabbing a verse'. 

I was recently reading in the book of Philemon.  I cannot honestly say I have been there often, but in my new studies I am discovering a width and depth to His Word that I have never known. The theme of this book is forgiveness and reconciliation. Paul writes from jail reaching out to us. Carrying on with issues and arguments is nothing but a drain to everyone.  Wasted energy.  

Draw on the Holy Spirit within you today to bring you comfort as well as guidance throughout the day. Think about things you have done that might need to seek forgiveness from someone, and for things you might forgive others of doing to you.

Philemon 1:8  "Therefore, altho I have the full right in Christ to order you to do what is proper, my boldness comes through Christ Jesus."

Mixed Media Collage Horse Paintings by Texas Artist Laurie Justus Pace

  © G.O.D. Laurie Justus Pace      Graphics One Design 2013 Horse Collage Fall 2013  12 x 18 inches Mixed Media on Canvas.  This was an intentional paint to imitate one of the 100 ponies I did in 2012. That poor little 8 x 10 pony was loved by a company to do very large prints and it was not here for me to even use to scan... so I created something with the same heart, a kindred spirit. The underlays are pages from a western book and then torn papers of different varieties were added along with stains of paint and purposeful areas of paint.  This would not be a painting I would do today, but the goal was to capture the spirit of the first painting.

'Exhausted' 24 x 24  Oil on Canvas Contact me to purchase by check or paypal. Laurie     © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Website   Thinking ahead to the Thanksgiving celebration next week, I remembered back to those previous dinners that I cooked, served, ate quickly, and cleaned up.  This is how I felt.  It is probably strange...even for me but I had the best fun sketching it out and painting it. We lost another dear family member this week. She has celebrated her 'continuation' day and is now with her mom and dad and her other cousins.  She leaves behind a family that will always celebrate her gentleness.  My aunt was special to all of us. She loved each of us dearly for who we were and was always ready with a hug or a 'good job'.    My memories are of breakfast pastries smeared with butter on top. It was not like they were not sweet enough as they were, but at her small kitch...

Sleeping Cowboy . Ernest Hemingway . Sunday, a day of rest . Western Painting by Texas Artist Laurie Pace

   © +Laurie Pace         Graphics One Design 2019 Sleeping Cowboy Commissioned Painting for one of our oldest friends. 2004  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW MY BLOG  ON INSTAGRAM     @lauriepaceblog Available Paintings by Laurie Pace          “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Ernest Hemingway  I really enjoyed painting this scene. It was restful to me as the artist  and loved by our friends.  Sunday is the day of rest. I smiled when I found this in archives and thought it perfect for this day.  If you live in Texas you know that we still have 'rules' about not selling liquor before noon.  If you live in Texas and are in your late thirties and up, you might even remember Blue Laws.   Stores were simply NOT open...
