anger is an acid

July 26, 2016April 14, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

Mark Twain once said, "Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured." Back in April I painted a page in my studio diary to remind me of this. A lesson best learned early and held tightly throughout life.… Continue reading anger is an acid

best ever burgers

July 25, 2016May 17, 2021 Ellen Lebsock

First I want to say, "I've been a really good girl for the past 90 days!" I've been eating fresh fruits, fresh veggies and proteins. No carbs to speak of, almost no fat [mayo, butter and the like] and very little sugar. It's paid off. Big time!  My jeans bag along behind me like they belong to someone… Continue reading best ever burgers

baby back ribs

July 22, 2016April 11, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

Bar-B-Q Ribs and Corn on the Cob. Does that epitomize summer or what? Well...that's supper tonight and just because it's so.o.o delish, I'm gonna share the way we fix 'em with you.

happy now?

July 22, 2016April 14, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

Today there was an opportunity to have a miserable day. Ever have one of those? We all have moments of anxiety, depression or fear. Each is a form of unnecessary suffering. Instead of sinking into the depths, I am determined to learn to be happy NOW! Not someday when everything appears to be perfect—but right NOW.… Continue reading happy now?

painting a diary

July 21, 2016April 10, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary" _Pablo Picasso In August of 2013 my life took a left turn down a new path. From Autumn of 2012, though the Holidays, and into the early summer of 2013, I invested myself completely in a "job" which I believed was given to me by The Lord. I… Continue reading painting a diary

living outside of time

July 21, 2016April 9, 2020 Ellen Lebsock

This is a lesson I learned late in life—a difficult lesson—not soon to be forgotten. If you are a child of The King...time has no meaning Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape you, beloved, that with The Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is as one day.… Continue reading living outside of time
