New Words

Posted on June 30, 2023June 30, 2023 by Pam

This is not an important post but an interesting post. I stopped writing down words a month ago. I have been reading a variety of books and noting the meanings of “new” words. Some of these writers are either from another planet or know more languages and words than me. I started a list to stretch my vocabulary. Here you go…

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

disinclination is a noun – lack of enthusiasm

sacrosanct is an adjective – too important or valuable to be interfered with

eschatological domino – falling pieces (relating to death, judgement, destiny of soul and humankind)

adiaphora – indifferent

polemically – aggressive attack on others opinions

bifurcation – separate, divide into two branches or forks

inaugurated eschatology – belief that end times were inaugurated in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus (there are “already” and “not yet” aspects to the Kingdom of God)

indigent is an adjective – poor and needy

Another reminder that I am not as smart as I think I am.

"Thoughts from a genuinely evaluative mind."

Pam writes so that must make her a writer. Recently retired, she can now fill days with family, friends, missions, writing, creating, and showing up for whomever needs her. Pam loves the Lord and people. The Bible is God’s love letter to us (and who does not need more love) so she studies and writes some more.

Pam lives in the Pacific Northwest but was home-grown in Southern California. She attended San Jose Bible College and finished a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry at UCLA. She became a teacher, then a Research and Development Chemist, then she built two successful real estate businesses in two states. Pam also pursued study at Fuller Theological Seminary and just completed six months serving in missions abroad.

Pam has two amazing children, married to two precious in-laws, and five sweet grandchildren. Pam is a gifted connector and communicator and the Northwest has the perfect climate for staying inside and writing – or baking! She has been writing since a wee one and is currently converting many years of blogging, by topic, into ten books. The first is a collection from 2011 titled, Beautiful Enough. The second is a yearly day-timer titled, Weekly Planner - Lessons in Life, Glory, and Grace. Number three is in progress with the working title, Christmas Today.

Ten facts about Pam in no particular order:

  1. On the team that developed an insulation for the Alaskan oil pipeline.
  2. Loves looking at homes, decorating, and has flipped five homes.
  3. Likes being tall.
  4. Films have helped define her vocabulary.
  5. Comes from Colorado tenement farmers with history traced to Wales.
  6. Was lost but now is found.
  7. Baking makes her happy – as does eating sweets with coffee, of course.
  8. She thinks mission work is the most important work in the world.
  9. The church started in Rome so she is learning Italian.
  10. Pam is a work in progress!

“I will be your God throughout your lifetime - until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you.” Isaiah 46:4
