Through the Eyes of Scripture

Posted on June 30, 2025 by Pam

In processing suffering my opinion is of little importance. Only through the eyes of Jesus through scripture, instead of through the broken lease of suffering, can I land on the truth that we live in an unfaithful world. Jesus’ life demonstrated betrayal even when He healed and never sinned against anyone. If suffering is intended…

No One’s “Got This”

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

My initial comments on suffering are – no thank you. Sometimes I think God built me tough for a reason and other times I’m all over the place. I’m afraid of the dentist chair, fire, heights, disapproval and rejection, fast-moving rivers (when I’m on them), guns (until this week when I had some fun learning…

No Regrets

Posted on June 22, 2025June 22, 2025 by Pam

This is one of my favorite titles because it is a declaration of how I would like to be living. Regret-free is a zone that few of us occupy. You can learn so many valuable lessons from your parents but a few of the others can be absorbed. My Mother had many regrets and expressed…

Seeing Clearly

Posted on June 22, 2025June 22, 2025 by Pam

A recent devotion by Philip De Courcy referenced a quote by Thomas Carlyle which directed me to many quotes by Carlyle. I’ll never conquer the many books I should’ve read but I hope I am reading the best ones now on this side of Glory. The quote is as follows, “Our main business is not…

Keeping Score

Posted on June 19, 2025 by Pam

This is a tough one. How does God remove sin and offense as far as the east is to the west? How does He forget and remember our sin no more? We keep score – some more than others. The bitter who eventually take their own revenge exceed the original offense. No, they do not…

Resources

Posted on June 19, 2025June 19, 2025 by Pam

God owns it all. Do not doubt it. I belong to a church that has some accomplished members. Their accomplishments are recognized by the world and they are compensated. Yippee for the good guys that can accumulate wealth and use it for Kingdom things. They support missionaries carrying the gospel to places far away and…

Outside the Gate

Posted on June 19, 2025June 19, 2025 by Pam

Jesus died outside the gate. The High Priest carried the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies were burned outside the camp. And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through His blood. Jews associate holiness and purity with places. God’s…

Imperceptible Halos

Posted on June 19, 2025 by Pam

Looking at medieval art, of religious devotion, you see many random halos on various characters from the accounts of Jesus’ life. Because we can’t recognize who is who, the artist is assigning diety. Mary usually has a halo but she is never mentioned as part of the church past the gospels. She is not mentioned…

From the Land of the Living

Posted on June 18, 2025 by Pam

It’s been a week. I lost a friend. I am dealing with an injury. Sleep is elusive and I actually took a catch-up nap that was wonderful. I am still in the land of the living but all of this makes me quiet. I don’t want to write but I have heard some wonderful stuff…

Hamas Ethics

Posted on June 14, 2025June 14, 2025 by Pam

Some denied the murders of Jews by the Nazis but the October 7th attacks by Hamas is proven. We have ‘eyes’ on the world with camera/cell products in most hands and the internet, waiting to publish anything. To attempt justification on lives stolen is a sin on top of the atrocities. But, I don’t want…

"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
