Night Snow
Oil on Canvas  SOLD  by Laurie Pace  


Night Snow is a beautiful horse painting done back in 2013 and sold from Mirada Fine Art in Denver. 28 x 42 inches of thick rich oil paints living in the Rocky Mountains.

The sun is setting as I logged onto my laptop. A weekend coming to a close with some new steps and an inspiring sermon from our Pastor Tom Pennington at Countryside Bible Church. We were blessed to have our grandson Jon join us today and even more excited that he was moved by the message.  It was on the distinctives of our Church. 

"We are committed to two great priorities that have inspired the church for 2,000 years: a high view of God and high view of scripture." Countryside Bible Church. 

We became new members at the church after visiting over the past year and a half, of course many weekends we were with my Mom last year before she passed. It is a joy to think of Countryside... because every person we have encountered there is filled with peace and a smile. There is a feeling of release and an open heart when you enter the sanctuary.  The music lifts you to a place of pure joy and for us that is crossing more than 70 years of church with some familiar hymns and some new ones. Many Sundays I have had to sit down while singing, breaking down in tears and searching for a hanky. Joyful tears. Words and songs that have taken me through my life to now. The choir and orchestra bring in the fullness of love filling the air with melody and harmony.  Coming home to Countryside also opens fellowship and study of scripture for us daily. The message is always The Word, God's Word. Pastor Tom follows the scripture weaving it throughout the Bible to tie in the connections.   We review it through out the week as we continue to study it.

Today's study was a new series,  "A HIGH VIEW OF GOD" . Pastor Tom deeply develops this message to put things back in perspective in our lives...and it will for you as well. If you are a fellow artist... listen while you paint. If you are a believer that follows this blog... put it on and sit back with your Bible or take a few notes.... There is purpose here that while God is over all things in heaven and earth and in the universe, He remains approachable by us... Pastor Tom breaks it down beautifully and for both Terry and me, much was lifted from our current lives and minds that we need to give it up and let God work on. I have always called it abiding and waiting, but after this message it is abide always and do not wait... it will be come 'to be' as He has planned it from the beginning. 

Tonight will be an early to bed as are currently listening to Tommy Emmanuel from Australia on Youtube... his music is incredible. Less tv mess, the better. We enjoy the music...and this is guitar like you can only imagine. It has been a beautiful weekend. I pray you had a restful one too.

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday.  It always seems strange as my Dad's birthday here on earth was today. I have only celebrated alone for 11 years and I miss my dad!  SHARING THE JOY There was a reading I studied on Sunday morning early when I woke up yesterday. Messages for the Morning Watch- Studies in Genesis   " Is there anything too hard of Jehovah?" Gen 19:14   Next was the challenge of the day... paraphrased:  God wants you to think of the deepest, highest, worthiest desire and longing of your heart, something which perhaps w

Be Strong and Courageous

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2024 Wild Stallion  by Laurie Pace   Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be affrighted at them:  for Jehovah thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deut 31:6 This Stallion was painted back in 2010.  I am guessing it is oil by the visible layering strokes of my palette knife. The contrasts are precise and clear. The white cuts through the dark reds. The reds concentrate the motion and the shapes and everything moves counterclockwise. Temptation is calling me to paint.  Are there times recently you have needed strength and courage and felt defeated by other things before even facing the situation? Do you feel like you are going counter clockwise? Seems like life right now for many of us. If you can face what is before you knowing the Lord God has everything under control, you are then beginning to gather wisdom.   God is often stopped by our working when we get in the way of what is mean
