“You've got this life and while you've got it, you'd better kiss like you only have one moment, try to hold someone's hand like you will never get another chance to, look into people's eyes like they're the last you'll ever see, watch someone sleeping like there's no time left, jump if you feel like jumping, run if you feel like running, play music in your head when there is none, and eat cake like it's the only one left in the world!” ― C. JoyBell C.

Do you fly a flag at your home?  We fly our Texas Flag most of the time and our US Flag on special holidays.  We are very patriotic and sometimes I wonder if it is not more for our great state than for our country.  Truth seems to be a thing of the past in the current day state of our union.  Subterfuge seems to be the order in every direction.  Covering tracks of past mistakes, not telling the truth, saying things you think people want to hear you say but doing other things... things against the law.  It is only days until the election and I have stayed off the subject because I do not like either major party candidate. We have made our decision to vote and who we are voting for and it is perhaps the least of the two evils. 

Truth was something that was the core of my upbringing and I am blessed to have married a man that walks the same path.  God is always first and truth is part of His Word.  Truth is our banner on the flagpole of life. God's truth surrounds us here at home and every moment of the day or night no matter where we are.  Biblically we begin with Adam and Eve and the story of the Tree of Knowledge.  It was so easy for Adam to fall into that gray area of truth and lie... she told me to do it.  Yes, she might have told him, but he did not have to do it. He was to guide her and lead her away when she was confronted to eat from it. Adam and Eve fell prey in the perfect setting of the Garden of Eden, so imagine where we are today and all the temptations and evil surrounding us through the media and social media.  It is hard to distinguish truth from lie. We must be vigilant.

Eph 3:12 Because of Christ our our faith in Him, we can now come fearlessly into God's presence, assured of His glad welcome.

'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...

I may touch up more as I watch over it.  There are only  maybe three more we...
