Henry’s a Doer

Posted on February 2, 2024February 2, 2024 by Pam

This is a line from a popular English tv show. Mary is comparing her deceased husband to her current husband, Henry. There is no lack of love but an understanding that some of us attack our lives with action. He is pragmatic and not a whimsical dreamer. “He must test himself (for endurance) from morning…

The High Places

Posted on January 27, 2024January 28, 2024 by Pam

“And so we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.” 2 Pet 1:19 We need the right words – words that are sure and reliable. Those…

Friends Forever

Posted on January 26, 2024January 26, 2024 by Pam

Recently I was touring an old Bible with small print. I’ve loved and used that Bible – but now I use larger print. Sometimes I will find a little scrap of paper with a Bible verse or, sometimes, money in a Bible. This Bible had a phone number and a name. To write something in…

Is God Resting?

Posted on January 23, 2024January 24, 2024 by Pam

I’ve had some serious sleep avoidance because of a silly prescription that I just finished. It has already been an especially busy week and I almost fell asleep on a friends couch mid-visit by 3 PM. At night I’m lying there for hours and my mind is doing the same thing your mind does on…

More Surrender

Posted on January 20, 2024January 20, 2024 by Pam

I’m sassy. The thought of surrender is full of friction. Days are full of resistance with forward and backwards steps, for instance, today. My goal is to serve the Lord abroad and locally. Each day I anticipate inspiration and it comes. I’m clearing space in my home and mind so that I can travel “lighter”….

Hate Matters

Posted on January 19, 2024January 19, 2024 by Pam

Today Alec Baldwin was indicted for involuntary manslaughter. Hate matters because it matters to God who made provision in His law. What not to do is/was kill a person. If an animal died, due to your negligence, compensation was required. (Another suggestion that we stop dressing our dogs and/or state that all dogs go to…

Trust and Obey

Posted on January 18, 2024January 18, 2024 by Pam

If you do a quick read of the book of Joshua you may miss it. Tons of telling about how the land is distributed. In Chapter 21 all of the warring and distributing is done. God’s promise is fulfilled with a caveat in Chapter 23. It does not come rolling but roaring down in verses…

A Noun and a Verb

Posted on January 18, 2024January 18, 2024 by Pam

Compassion is a person, place or thing so it should be a noun but it is not just a noun. It presents as a noun, being a sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. Having sympathy is a verb because you have the noun – sympathy and have is the verb….

I Sought the Lord

Posted on January 18, 2024January 18, 2024 by Pam

I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered That is why I trust Him. This song has been spinning around me all day. Not because of a particular answer to said prayers but…

A Wave Offering

Posted on January 14, 2024January 14, 2024 by Pam

I’ve been reading near the beginning of the Bible. Leviticus has a lot of detail on how we can approach God and it is with an offering and with caution. It makes me appreciate the new covenant where Jesus did it all. The Levites were ordained by God and commissioned by those whom they served….

"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
