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 half were delivered so I am going to do the best I can. Remote is good for this study time. I read through Ephesians this afternoon and did you know it only takes about 20 minutes? In the early church the letters of Paul were read as letters in their entirety. A quick read is good, not trying to read between the lines. We are privileged to hear from Don Price this week on the Father God. I had a wonderful cousin John Price and they are probably distant cousins. Don told me that his father’s name was John and his son as well. The world is shrinking for me. If I had decided to live out retirement in my precious Bothell home nearby my favorite coffee and friends, I would have missed these two weeks of eye-opening teaching, connection, and experience. Again, the purpose of my life is to abide in Jesus and the natural result will be serving others. Jesus was a Servant King. He was in the world. Yes, He visited the temple and taught there but His life was on the road. He did not have a church office but no offense intended if you have a church office as there are as many callings as there are people. Well, my friend is trying to clean the sofa I am sitting on so gotta go. Talk soon! Yes still no working phone yet. What I am missing is google maps so not to get lost on these many cow paths and german translator so I can at least try to greet people!

"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!
