400 Plus

“When you meet the thickest darkness in life, pray for the brightest light.” ― Ernest Agyemang Yeboah  

Def: Dark  -8: closed to the public “Life is dark in shutdown”

Over 400 days Terry and I have been living in this new land of shutdown. Even with vaccines, things remain fuzzy on what is allowed and not allowed. For sure this time is the first darkness we have had hit us that has lasted over a year in length. When our nation was shut down in early March 2020, people were sentenced to stay home with their children and a virus spread across our country. Both Liberals and Conservative have their slant on the last year. For Terry and me, it has brought us closer… closer to God and to each other. Never did we believe we would be tested with times like those from the Bible. 

This morning in my reading from Seed Bed came the words, “Why Don’t We Live in America Anymore?”   The next phrase was “We must let go of America’s good ol’ days…” 

Terry and I have sought the light almost every day. We both had our days of darkness creeping in, and the other one would light the way out of that darkness. Even our tempers flared at times.  If you want to read how we did it, read more here.



“And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.” John 3:19

Sunlit Bowl

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 Sunlit Bowl Oil on Canvas  SOLD   by Laurie Pace   A Painting of soft pink and white flowers   created in 2013 brings back memories of living at Lake Cypress Springs. I loved it there. It did not love me!  Mold was my downfall.  I was prolific at painting there with my studio looking over the waters of a large catfish pond and Lake Cypress Springs. The mold pushed us back to DRY Dallas.  God guides our path today.  Memories are flooding in with the morning sun.  Proverbs 4:18    “ The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”  Today will be over 100 degrees but by Saturday the high is 79. Weather is the main talk these days. Remember I am in Texas.   We heard they may get snow in the Ohio River Valley. We are to see storms from the Pacific Hurricane coming our directio...

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...
