When we got back we filled our plates with Terry's yummy lemon roasted chicken and fresh veggies and flipped on a movie he wanted to watch... I think it was called Parenthood.  We came in toward the end of it. It had just started before we made the wild trip to Fedex.  The elderly grandmother in the movie came in to a heated discussion between the husband and wife.  The husband play...

While I hate disrupting the growth and the blooms, it is the right thing to do.  At those times in life when we cannot see beyond our nose we lose sight of what can be.  Turning it over to the Lord and following the lead of Jesus encourages you to do your own 'pruning'.  We have to let go and walk away from things that we are comfortable with; things that appear to us to be perfect for our life. But truly are they? We soon realize the jewels that fill our 'crowns in our life" are only of this earth and not of heaven or of God. Taking off the "crown" we realize we are not the important person we thought we...

Bowing down to worship is the act of freely giving love to GOD in every aspect of your life, not just in those moments of desperate prayer.  How can you expect intimacy in a relationship that you do not contribute to? Start small if you are just reaching out. Some of you will find connection in singing... and this is one of my favorites..  We Bow Down by Twila Paris You are Lord of the Heavens and Lord of my life Lord of the land and the sea You w...

Partner Midnight Dance 20 x 20 Acrylic on Canva s        This was painted similar to a piece I did last year with a single horse in it. My reference photo as two horses in it so I decided to paint both of them in it this time.  I think I am done, but will look at it one more time later today. Contact me for your own painting. Laurie   © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2011   One of those mornings... When you wake up at four a.m. and cannot go back to sleep.  I chose to tiptoe out of the bedroom early this morning and work on my backlog of computer things.  The goal was to get it done so I would have time to walk this morning. We walked yesterday about two miles... about an hour walk around the lake shore drive by us. It was cool with the wind blowing but still feeling warm at near seventy degrees. What drew my attention was the symphony of the trees. Here at the lake we have tall pine trees, short o...
