Laurie Pace - Fine Artist

Well, I debated on a lesson, but things are really popping with the holiday ahead. So we will miss two weeks because of what you will read about below.  I am testing a pumpkin pie today made with heavy cream coconut milk in place of the dairy milk in all the other recipes. Will have to let you know how it comes out.  ALSO, Terry and I are going to make some homemade cinnamon raisin bread to eat this week.  A testing for it too. THEN I had this crazy ideas after just playing with acrylics this weekend in front of the fire with cold wind blowing and the threat of sleet... why not do 12 Giveaways NOW as my 12 Days of Christmas sharing and giving to you.  If you enter ONCE during the 12 days that is all to keep you name in the hat.  Below all this info is the winner of last week's pony, so keep reading.

He answered, “I have escaped from the Israelite camp.” 2 Samuel 1:3 Is there something you are avoiding in life or even running from?  We all have something that keeps us looking back or we try hard to move further from it to leave it behind.

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore your eye be single, your whole body shall be full of light.    --Matthew 6:22 I was reading about Pinecones before I started this blog and there are several biblical references to the Pinecone through the green pine tree in the bible.  This particular site also mentioned the placement of the Pinecone in Egyptian history as well as with the  Masonic Lodges and the Masons.

Laurie    © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2011 DIVINE ORDER... Coming home always feels good.   Arriving in the house last night to the song-tweets of our birds and the bounding Paddy Dog at the door barking a greeting does a lot for the weary traveler. Thank goodness for a great house sitter, clean floors, fed animals and birds and a pitcher of homemade tea in the frig.  It feels like divine order to me! How easy it is at times to see things as we want to see them and not as God has them laid out.  There is a definite difference between His order and our order.

Laurie    © Laurie Justus Pace     Graphics One Design 2010 My Blog My Website    JOY JOY JOY!  For some reason looking at this tiny fun painting brings joy to me, or does it?  Colors, movement and action all rolled into one.
