Sifting

Posted on November 1, 2022November 1, 2022 by Pam

I was going to label this post “nothing original” only because I listen, watch, evaluate, and then share. There is something to be said for the phrase, “there is nothing new under the sun”. That is why I wonder why people are allowed to write books that sound an awful lot like the other book…

Schon, dich wiederzusehen!

Posted on October 28, 2022October 30, 2022 by Pam

So I tried this greeting at breakfast today with kind reactions. I did not have the correct pronunciation but it means, “Nice to see you again”. I noticed again what I noticed at yesterdays worship time (singing), that the German-speaking members come alive when a song is in their native tongue. Familiarity connects us to…

Big Things and Small Things

Posted on October 25, 2022October 25, 2022 by Pam

I think I will begin with some small things – the washing machines. It is expensive to run a dryer in some parts of the world and so we hang our clothes in the basement on clothes lines with two de-humidifiers running. I usually wait two days because only one day and I’m not sure…

Two Days in the Life

Posted on October 22, 2022October 23, 2022 by Pam

I thought you might enjoy hearing about my schedule. It varies in the study season but yesterday was very long and then today ended with me cooking chili con carne for 24 with the guidance of a very wonderful leader. So Friday began with an hour of corporate prayer after breakfast, which we do on…

Do I Want to be a Missionary?

Posted on October 20, 2022October 20, 2022 by Pam

God is infinite – I am finite. He knows everything. He knows all but does not cause all. God did not create rebellion but Satan’s discontent based on pride did. The Heaven’s declare the glory of God. He is sovereign which, to me, means that He has the last word on everything. He is a…

Manuka Honey

Posted on October 17, 2022October 17, 2022 by Pam

Photo looking away from the Alps. What is Manuka Honey? It means I am sipping tea – pukka brand – with lemon, ginger, & manuka honey to build up my immune system because my Australian friends said so. If I had reliable internet I would look it up. Yesterday I sent some emails and only…

New Friends

Posted on October 15, 2022October 15, 2022 by Pam

I remember that when I was a classroom teacher I would be so happy to meet my many new students but would, inevitably, catch a cold from some foreign germ. Just one cold and then I was set for the year! So guess what – second week in and a monster cold. I even missed…

The Stable, Crocs, and the Holy Spirit

Posted on October 14, 2022October 15, 2022 by Pam

I would like to the answer the question here, Who Controls the Holy Spirit but first – the Stable. It is called a worship hall for worship and prayer gatherings but was once a barn/stable. There are floors now where there were none and that’s how I feel about intercessary prayer. There is a wonderful…

I’m Taller on Sunday

Posted on October 9, 2022October 9, 2022 by Pam

I’m already a bit tall but when I enter worship I straighten up and put my shoulders back and want to reach toward Heaven. I have noticed how being together restarts and corrects my week with hope. It has been a week and today I had the pleasure of visiting a sister church to a…

Stories

Posted on October 6, 2022October 6, 2022 by Pam

I’m getting to know people from eleven different countries who are here to study missions. The questions we answered to outline our introduction are the following: A little about where you grew up and what your family was like. How you became a Christian? One big highlight of your life? (of course, mine was Nate…

"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
