I run to breathe the fresh air. I run to explore. I run to escape the ordinary. I run…to savor the trip along the way. Life becomes a little more vibrant, a little more intense. I like that."  Dean Karnazes, Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All Night Runner.  Most of us think of night as the time to rest and recover from the day.  There are some people that come alive at night... they are the late risers in the morning because their joy comes in the evenin

What does this mean?  Keeping an open mind is one of the hardest things to do. We always seen to have an opinion on something and we want to be heard. If you are as strong willed as I am, often I do not hear what the other person is saying because I am preplanning how I am going to phrase what I want to say to them, making it impossible for me to hear anything from anyone else.   Keeping an open mind involves allowing yourself to embrace new and different things.

Colorado Paint Pony 8 x 10 inches  Oil on Canvas         © Laurie Pace Graphics One Design 1998-2011 It is dark thirty but we are heading out early this morning.  We have heard tales of the wildfires in Arizona creating smokey conditions in New Mexico.  Amarillo is full of dust and smoke from local fires.  This may affect how long we stay in Santa Fe... it may be a drive in and drive out the next day. I am sharing my Daily Word for the day: Beauty I behold the beauty of God's creation. With the first light of morning, the sky becomes a masterpiece of color. Sunlight paints the mountaintops, treetops and rooftops with a soft golden hue. I praise God for this new day. Beholding the splendor of all creation, I delight in the sight of an eagle soaring through a clear blue sky or a tiny caterpillar inching its way across a leaf. I choose to see goodness and beauty in the environment, the peoples of the earth and in myself. As nighttime darkens the horizon, I gaze

Contact me to purchase: Laurie © Laurie Justus Pace 2009 Graphics One Design " To this end we always pray for you, asking that our God will make you worthy of His call and will fulfill by His power every good resolve and work of faith. " 2 Thessalonians 1:11 A Painting a Day: This is one of my collected painted pony pulls. This is an exclusive style that I developed in 2005, which is a story in itself. If you ever buy one I might share the story! This is a painting created in layers, MANY LAYERS. It takes lots of paint, patience and trial and error. The effect reminds me of shimmering heat, the kind of heat we have in Texas. My Thought for the Day: Time to climb out of our boxes today. If we can do that... my imagery is with a ladder because I am so deeply down in this box. By stepping out of our comfort zone and our "self" zone, we can then begin to serve others. God embraces us daily in our walk, and today is a

Contact me if you are interested in this painting: Laurie "But truly God has listened; He has given heed to the words of my prayer." Psalm 66:19 I wondered last night as we drove home from the grocery store, after stopping at FEDEX and Mary's Mail, if there was a full moon last night. The people were driving and acting crazy out on the roads. In the two hours we were out, several ambulances and firetrucks took to the roads to accidents. Every one is in a hurry...every one was doing really rude things. I looked up as we left the grocery store and asked TP, "Is it a full moon" . We were blessed when we got home with a visit from little John David across the street. He lightened our evening with his curiosity and inquisitive nature....so from all of this comes my thought for you this morning. Last night as the clouds were rus
