Summer Horse 15 SOLD By Texas Artist Laurie Pace  8 x 8 inches Mixed Media on Canvas   from a Louis L'Amour Novel 100 Horses for 100 Days of Summer for $100 each. Horse Paintings from my studio daily through out this summer. I am trying to focus on the joy of painting instead of the heat of summer, so now is the perfect time to collect a Pace Palette Knife Pony or one like Summer Horse 15 that is pages from an old western novel with acrylic layering of mixed mediums on top. This one is very rustic! The joy of taking hold of something with completion is a satisfying feeling.  How often does God rescue us by pulling us out of the 'high waters'?  I cannot help but wonder if He feels that joy or if we would hear his long sigh? If you have friends or neighbors or see someone struggling, this is the day to take hold and pull them

This past Sunday's sermon will not be up until midweek, but it is good.  Click here for the link. Jack entitled his sermon 'Who me?' and as always everything he shares sends my brain off into several directions and Terry has to endure the journey as I think things out and research

Personal and precious are our gifts from the Father.  The Father is with us always through the times of darkness in life as well as at the moment you reach the summit's top.  Jesus promises us life  and the gift of having it filled with abundance.  Through His physical healing of the body came forgiveness and grace to the soul.  Perhaps today it is better to seek His Grace before we pray for divine healing.  Words of my heart, Laurie A Texas

Beth is here from Tulsa to paint with me and it has been a delightful blessing.  God is marvelous the way He knits our lives together with so many strands of colorful thread. This morning before she arrives, Terry and I went on a long walk and the temperature was at 65 degrees outside. We took our favorite path along the lake. I spent most of the walk meditating with the Father and thanking Him for the beauty and glory surrounding us. My heart is prepared for

I was reading in the 18th chapter of Psalms when the verses I included at the bottom struck a chord of familiarity as well as comfort.  I think perhaps this was something from a past message I heard that took root in my heart. Googling it I came across this poem from  another blog . The writer did not know where it came from.  Further investigation found a young man that put it to music. I hope you enjoy both the poem and the youtube song. Evidently from comments on Youtube the song was writt

Lightening and thunder have awakened us nightly with the storms moving through Texas.  We welcome the rain after the year of drought and wish it would stay.   When I spoke with Stacey this morning she shared a story about Lady L from last night's storms.  The thunder was beginning to role and the lights at their house flickered.  The tenacious three year old ran to her mom...."Jesus protect me from the dark?" Stacey reassured her and that see

Security in God When you ride in the car, the seat belt is a safety tool that brings a certain amount of security to you in being safe in the car when you are traveling.   On our riding lawnmower there is a safety feature of the engine cutting off if there is no weight on the seat.  So if you were to run yourself into a tree branch hanging down, or just fall off from turning to sharply, the riding mower will stop immediately. You can be secure knowing you won't be run over by your own lawnmower.     What do we
