pot-pour-ri

Posted on August 3, 2024August 4, 2024 by Pam

Potpourri means an assortment. It is an assortment of dried petals and spices but I’m looking for a way to give you some thoughts to take over and chew on. God’s Word is constantly inspiring. It is solid truth but seems to morph as we grow. (I don’t know if believers in Jesus can shrink…

Mission Improbable

Posted on July 31, 2024August 3, 2024 by Pam

Years ago I remember sounding out the Mission Impossible tune (theme music) on a piano. It is very distinctive. I have always enjoyed the action films of the James Bond genre. I don’t know why except the good guy is amazing and always wins. A hundred bullets can fly over Ethan or James head but…

Was Jesus Nice?

Posted on July 30, 2024August 6, 2024 by Pam

WAS JESUS NICE? 7/30/24 I’m angry. Daily I ask God for the mind of Christ. I want to treat fellow believers and non-believers as Jesus would. Was Jesus nice? What did a holy God, embodied in a physical form, do when confronted with evil? I’m not talking about being offended but let’s examine a couple…

Obsessing

Posted on July 24, 2024July 24, 2024 by Pam

I like the term focus. I’ve been reading about extremes and how our nervous systems can wire our personalities. For instance, introverts may have more sensitivity to sound stimuli. The shyness is a protective internal device. It is like fight or flight. There are a million examples but what is most important is that God…

Unfamiliar Discontent

Posted on July 23, 2024July 23, 2024 by Pam

What is this thing I keep thinking about? I’m waking up and there is a knot in my stomach. Something has happened to someone I love. Yes, I pray. I’m moving slower and more thoughtfully. I’m distracted. I’m trying not to cry or yell. This feeling is unfamiliar. I’m usually following marching orders…left, right, left,…

I Missed It

Posted on July 23, 2024July 23, 2024 by Pam

I did read Henri J.M. Noun’s book ‘The Return of The Prodigal Son’. There are so many lessons in there. The account from Jesus always connects to my heart. Having looked at it many times, one day a light bulb came on. The father did not pursue his wayward son. The prodigal lived with his…

Take the Pills

Posted on July 21, 2024July 21, 2024 by Pam

I recently had oral surgery. Three times a day I take pills and rinse with two solutions. I want the pain to subside and I want recovery so I can eat again. I am eating – but squishy things – argh. I made a schedule and listed every step. In a couple of weeks I…

Peace Pool Party

Posted on July 21, 2024July 21, 2024 by Pam

Talk about acceptance. As a mature woman I attended a water park for the day with family. Mostly I watched my grandkids but also put on a swimsuit then later added one of those sun-proof long-sleeved water shirts. People do odd things at water parks and barriers are minimized. For whatever reason, I found myself…

Gold Stars

Posted on July 8, 2024July 8, 2024 by Pam

Beware of congratulations. In my junk-mail box I get dozens of those messages and always with a hook. Congratulations – apply for…, congratulations – you have won a subscription that will only cost…, congratulations – you are a sucker…, and on it goes. These are not really compliments and I have finally learned to read…

Two Kinds of People

Posted on July 8, 2024July 8, 2024 by Pam

I was listening to the radio in my car and heard the following tuck-in advice. At the end of the day, this father reminds his children of two things: remember that I love you no matter how disobedient you were today and I love you the same no matter how many awesome and good things…

"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
