Dog in a Basket – Baby in a Womb

Posted on January 3, 2024January 3, 2024 by Pam

I just caught up on some news and social media. Social media does not take much time out of my day but what started as a way to check in on my kids has grown to keeping up with past and new friends. I’ve learned a lot and expect most of it is true! Today…

The Hardest Story

Posted on January 3, 2024January 7, 2024 by Pam

I’ve started a quick read of the Bible – which I have never done before. It is January 2nd and Sarah is already dead. I’ve also finished the account which is most challenging for me. I’m not sure when I first wanted to run out of the room. I can’t remember the first telling of…

Undressing the Holidays

Posted on January 1, 2024January 1, 2024 by Pam

I don’t know the state of your home today, on January 1, 2024, but there may still be remnants of Christmas. There is the tradition of the 12 Days of Christmas but I have not usually celebrated in that way. Then there was the year I left the tree up all 12 months and had…

The Best Gift

Posted on December 29, 2023December 29, 2023 by Pam

You already know what I’m going to write about. It’s after Christmas and the boxes are gone and we are left with grateful hearts that we have people. We make memories that will outlast the thing in the box. The Advent Devotional my church created for Day 23 suggested these readings: Isaiah 6:1-7, Philippians 2:5-7,…

Write It For Yourself

Posted on December 29, 2023December 30, 2023 by Pam

“A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.” – James Allen Let…

Church Royalty

Posted on December 18, 2023December 20, 2023 by Pam

The only one wearing a King’s crown is King Jesus but the church is in the world and we act like the world by elevating some and diminishing others. The reason Dr Suess made the Grinch green is because the Grinch steals Christmas. He is missing all of the joy. He is missing it so…

A Long List

Posted on December 18, 2023December 18, 2023 by Pam

I’m looking at a list of notes of things I’m curious about. That always takes me to writing so here I will mention some thoughts in brief. Does she love Walter? In the film, ‘Sleepless in Seattle’, the female lead is smitten with a story and voice she hears on the radio while on the…

God’s Great Feast

Posted on December 16, 2023December 16, 2023 by Pam

I missed the Ladies Christmas Tea at church this morning. I won’t tell you why but, in the night, I’d googled what happens to your tummy when you take amoxicillin. Enough on that. I saw the photos of the elegant decor. A good friend, an author, posted photos of her Christmas table. I have not…

The Replacements

Posted on December 16, 2023December 16, 2023 by Pam

A lot of my recent writing has been on themes relating to food. We need food. What I also need are some replacements for old cookie sheets. They are so perfect upon purchase but then tarnish with time and it is a challenge to get the cookie remnants to disappear. Time for new and also…

Battle of the Bands

Posted on December 14, 2023December 16, 2023 by Pam

The wonderful thing about this battle is that there is disappointment but nobody dies with dueling high school wanna-bees. The battle I’m thinking of is Christmas songs vs Easter songs. Why are there so many more glorious songs about the baby Jesus than the crucified Christ? There is no possible imagery like Rudolf the red-nosed…

"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
