More Psalms

Posted on February 8, 2025February 8, 2025 by Pam

How rich they are. Here is a brief look at Psalms 24-39 – just a few thoughts. Psalm 23 stands alone and I have written much and received so much at YWAM on the study of Psalm 23. It is important to God that we do not worship idols nor tell lies. The answer to…

Can We Compete With David?

Posted on February 8, 2025February 8, 2025 by Pam

I’ve been enjoying the Psalms since January 1st but need an attitude adjustment. How do I compete with someone about whom God says the following: I Sam 13:14, (Samuel speaking to King Saul), “But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the Lord…

I Was a Barista in Berlin and Death By Twinkie

Posted on February 6, 2025February 6, 2025 by Pam

I never thought I would say I WAS A BARISTA IN BERLIN, but more on that next. Funny thoughts roll around in my head, but I have been focusing on writing about Dietrich and on the Psalms – both worthy endeavors – but today I digress. Volunteering in Berlin was memorable but one quirky aspect…

Bubble Girl

Posted on February 1, 2025February 1, 2025 by Pam

I was re-reading the account of “The Bubble Boy” in Our Daily Bread devotional book. It is about protecting life and reminded me of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s writings. He felt helpless to solve the evil in the world that was closing in on him. The clock was ticking for David Vetter, who died at age 12,…

I Did Not Invent God

Posted on January 29, 2025January 30, 2025 by Pam

I did not invent God. I believe He invented me. I live near a Hindu Temple and when I walk by I pray Jesus. I have been past so many times that I can describe some of the idols and their placement on the exterior decor. I have many Hindu neighbors and friends. In discussion…

Travel Study

Posted on January 26, 2025January 26, 2025 by Pam

While I’ve been visiting family I am enjoying the Psalms. Let’s group 17-22. There is God and there is Pam. Not much to compare except that God brings comfort to those who ask. King David is just asking. Psalm 17:1 reads, “Here a just cause, O Lord, give heed to my cry; Give ear to…

Such People

Posted on January 16, 2025January 16, 2025 by Pam

I love how the new completes the old. Psalm 15 describes ‘Such People’ by their actions. The ‘Such People’, who are allowed to enter God’s presence, do things like this; lead blameless lives, do what is right, speak truth from sincere hearts, refuse to gossip, despise sinners and honor the faithful. They even keep their…

Thy Loving Kindness

Posted on January 14, 2025 by Pam

This phrase keeps getting me through today. “Thy loving kindness is better than life.” I’m also catching up on some study and have heard and read a few things worth a mention. I have a new life verse(s). It is something I am not very good at. James 1:19, 20, 25-27. In part, “This you…

Banished Words

Posted on January 11, 2025January 11, 2025 by Pam

Ran across the funniest article today on which words should be left behind in 2024. They are cringe, game changer (I agree – so sick of that one), era, dropped, IYKYK, sorry not sorry, skibidi, 100%, utilize, and period. Here are some of the reasons provided by Lake Superior State University on 1/1/25. This is…

Bringing A Request

Posted on January 10, 2025January 11, 2025 by Pam

Thoughts intersect as do prayers. My prayer today is to be more skillful in connecting the lessons learned in Berlin while volunteering. Psalm 5:3 reads, “Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly”. I’m asking God to help me write only what has purpose…

"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
