John

Posted on September 21, 2023 by Pam

St Augustine said of the two testaments, “The new is in the old concealed, the old is in the new revealed.” We need both and need to read both. I have always favored the new because it is a story where the old seems to be complicated with many stores but, in combination, tell of…

New Carts

Posted on September 15, 2023September 15, 2023 by Pam

My mission field is sometimes at Costco. I had the honor of driving some wonderful Saints on some errands today so missed the exercise I had planned but ended up near Costco. I always need gas. Several conversations ensued. The gas station attendant was moving slowly. I noticed a cast and got the story on…

Earthly, Natural, Demonic

Posted on September 14, 2023September 14, 2023 by Pam

I don’t know if everyone in Heaven will be beautiful but I am guessing yes. I can’t imagine pimples or any other condition that caused shame and embarrassment here. What was once natural in the physical world, and familiar, should be better. A new body is promised and Jesus is the first fruits. James 3:16,…

The Elixir

Posted on September 13, 2023September 13, 2023 by Pam

I’ve done several readings of C.S. Lewis’s, ‘The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe’. Most recently to fourth-grade students, before that my children one summer, and then my original reading as an early teen. I happened upon the end of the film today and had missed the elixir allegory. There is the creepy battle with…

Evangelism

The best reason for sharing your faith? “Love your neighbor as yourself” Done – there is nothing more to say today…

Keep the Fires Burning

Posted on September 9, 2023September 9, 2023 by Pam

“Do not neglect the spiritual gift within you, which was bestowed upon you through prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands by the presbytery”, I Tim 4:14. Are you hot? What fuels your faith? That creepy verse in Revelation has always bothered me. When I say things like that it is just because I…

Our Questions

Posted on September 9, 2023September 10, 2023 by Pam

Yes, I am that person who tries not to interrupt the speaker, but wants all of those burning questions answered. I have faith but want more information. Our questions cannot bring about a different God. It is not true that he with the most answers wins. Rom 9:20 reminds us, “On the contrary, who are…

Cares

Posted on September 9, 2023September 9, 2023 by Pam

There are so many songs I love to sing. There are words that jump out and have faith meaning. My recent fav is 10,000 Reasons. There is nothing missing in that song. Care, as a word, is mentioned often in scripture. “God will take care of you…Take care of the church…Because he cares for you…Members…

Jesus is Always the Punch Line

Posted on September 5, 2023September 5, 2023 by Pam

A dear friend just sent me a recent speech from Pope Francis. She meant for me to be encouraged as it encouraged her. Kudos for lovers of people who reach out to share encouragement. I’m wondering if I am in a bad mood because the content did quite the opposite. I read waiting for the…

Three Hours

Posted on August 29, 2023August 29, 2023 by Pam

What began as a typical Monday outing turned into three crazy hours of shopping. I missed the mark. I don’t know why it bothers me so much except that I view time as my friend and I don’t like it wasted. I was mailing something to my sister so success at the post office except…

"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
