We are in the midst of the third week of Advent and Terry and I are enjoying reading our advent study each morning and in the evening we have been studying the book of Mark and how his gospel compares to the other ones.  This evening study prompted us with some tough questions to answer in our lives looking back .  First it asked the simple question of what it meant to 'follow' someone.  In today's w...

He is the great Protector.  His infinite unconditional love for me will provide what I need because I know He has the power to do so. Here is the next part of Psalm 86.... David's intimate cry to God. Psalm 86:6-10 6 Hear my prayer, LORD;   ...

Dozen August Roses 12 x 12 inches Oil on Board       ©Laurie Pace    Graphics One Design 1998-2011   Contact me for your own commissioned painting or to purchase this piece: Laurie   (I left the close ups pretty big so enjoy!)     Close up 1 Close Up 2     WE BOW DOWN How do you bow down before the Lord?  The time you spend alone with God determines how intimate your relationship is with Him.  That 'intimacy' word again. 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...

Laurie   © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2011 My Blog My Website   Giclees on Canvas, Prints and Cards It got really really cold again and we saw some light sleet late yesterday. Thank goodness today's high is in the forties!  Power is holding and for that I am grateful. I started this painting and worked on it most of yesterday. Had the heaters going in the studio and classical music playing.  The smells from the kitchen were extraordinary.  (Did I spell that right?) Terry was cooking while I was painting.  We dined on Salmon, baked potato and fresh carrots and mushrooms.  We spent the rest of the evening sprawled in front of the fire playing backgammon.  Bliss. The only thing that would have rounded it out would have been something from Stacey Beth's kitchen. (Just ...
