Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”   Storms hit early this morning around 4:45. The winds were strong at 65 mph. I am not sure if we had hail or not but it was reported in the area. The rain should be clearing by mid morning, and I know our trees and grass and flowers are benefiting from this moisture. Summers are harsh here.   Seems like our lives happen in the same way. Things arriv...

Color.  She is a unique horse and loves to play in the light of the sun every day. I do believe that is why the glimmers of color in the painting bring forth the beauty in this contemporary horse painting! Romans 8:11 "If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you."  What is incredible about having a growing faith and trust in God is brought to life through trials and temptations.

There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his...

Queen Esther... she does it all!

© Laurie Pace        Graphics One Design 2025 The Calling Commission Painting Oil on Canvas  by Laurie Pace   LOVE this painting. It comes up every year closer to August when my dear friend Queen Esther starred in NY in a musical. She has been on broadway many times and this was on the re-opening of the Apollo Theater back about 22 years ago. She is a forever friend, a mentor and a classy woman with a huge voice! 1 Thessalonians 4:14 " For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep." This is the week that brings me to my knees and my heart to mourn and then to sing. If you do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I implore you to read one of the Gospels of His birth and His life here on earth; Matthew or Luke both offer great insight to His time spent here.    Did you know Jesus has been with God in heaven, along with the Holy Spiri...
