Could be countup instead of countdown, but I am checking things off my list. I have three weekends and two-plus weeks before returning to the states so, on this morning off, I did typical ‘Pam’ things. That would start with breakfast at a 1902 cafe called the Louvre. A ‘fit’ breakfast consists of a small…

I’m Off Script
I read this phrase in a book about transitions in cross-cultural ministry. It really applies to anyone who is not as conventional as the average. You look to your right, then your left, and you are doing different stuff. I’ve done a lot of normal stuff and am very grateful for a nice family, great…
End of Day
Just wanted you to see what the end of the day looks like. I will carry a flashlight starting tomorrow because of the construction and cobblestones here, plus my cold-weather boots started to fall apart today. Sometimes I am a wimp. I sliced my finger last week and am remembering that I do not like…
King of Endless Worth
That phrase was in a song sung at church this morning. It is so beautiful. The morning was eventful because power went out at the library and we had already set up our mini-library for people to check out or purchase wonderful books for all ages. Hard decision but I was left behind to carry…
Kind and Friendly
How wonderful to have a talent for making people feel at ease. Friendly people have those personalities that notice people and don’t wait to be noticed. Lucky you – use it wisely. Friendly is a personality trait but a more refined trait is kindness. Gal 5:22-23 gives us a good list, “But the fruit of…
Checking Some Czech Things
Today I rode the most adorable tram to the library for our children’s Saturday event. It looks like a Disney ride from the 60’s. I’ll eventually remember to snap a photo but am usually rushing to hop on. With 25 sleeps to go I am checking some Czech things off my list. I am hoping…
Running on Empty
Was God out of gas after He created the world in six days? I doubt it but He called for rest. Why did God call for rest in Gen 2:1-3? “Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished His work that He…
Travel Advisory
My tummy is upset and not much sleep. I’ve never Ubered in Berlin. From an urban spot (with my tree) only four minutes to pickup! So happy. Finally over the bug and fit to finish. I was so relieved that I over-tipped the driver. As I exit the vehicle the Berlin Central Train Station does…
The Tree Outside My Window
Well, it will be my window for two more sleeps as I prep to return to the Crossroads Library in Prague for 33 more sleeps, then back to US. The tree stands out (or more accurately – up) in the urban landscape of Berlin (to the right of window frame). Here’s how it looked the…
Dog Eared
I had no idea how to spell dog eared but that is what phones are for. I sent this postcard to my cousin, Becky (who has traversed the globe), at least a month ago so the condition of this did not surprise her. As I had been trying to complete the library inventory in Berlin,…
