Keep the Fires Burning

Posted on September 9, 2023September 9, 2023 by Pam

“Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed upon you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery”, I Tim 4:14. Are you hot? What fuels your faith? That creepy verse in Revelation has always bothered me. When I say things like that it is just because I lack understanding. “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold not hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are Luke-warm – neither hot not cold – I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” Rev 3:15-18. Are you feeling any pressure? We accepted Jesus and walked through the door to His Kingdom. We are now in the world but not of this world any longer. It is a crooked world and I appreciate the humor that the “Chosen” tv film has added to see the everyday of being with Jesus. There are ‘easy-does-it’ days and then the other kind. Without the infusion of the Holy Spirit it is not possible to feel the heat and passion of God. I picture a dragon breathing fire into every need. The needs are what we need today but also what God wants from us to grow His Kingdom. Protect your heart. Be with people on the same path. As fires tend to go out, look for fuel. Pray, study, fellowship, hold accountable, be held accountable, and go. Just don’t cool off.

"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:

  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
