Blood On The Post

Posted on April 28, 2024April 28, 2024 by Pam

With every film rendition of what the original Passover scene looked like, I look away. It is usually a dark misty thing and then you hear the crying and then, recently, I saw a film that had ghosts walking around Egypt. If it’s not in the Bible don’t put it in your film! That one act of obedience saved lives. I read yesterday that one of the many rolls of a Pharaoh was to proclaim himself a god. Today’s feminists would tell another version. As an all-powerful God, Pharaoh should have been able to save his own son but he could not. This was the last blow to Pharaoh’s claim of being god. In how many ways do we subvert God’s power and holiness by choosing lies over the truth? Every decision we make, that goes against God’s good will for us, harms us. Only a loving God would do what He did in the Old Testament record to teach us obedience. All of the other ‘plagues’ were clear affronts to the many false gods of the Egyptians. Be careful what leader you follow. We are not picking fights with leaders but don’t follow convention if it flies in the face of the one true God.

Had a parent decided that God is loving, He gets me, the rules do not apply to me, and I don’t need to put blood on the post, that parent committed murder in their own home. Don’t be a Pharaoh.

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!
