All Voices

Posted on February 28, 2023March 9, 2023 by Pam

I think I understand “finishing well” and ‘finishing strong” but how about “leaving well”? At the final worship meeting at Wiler (in a converted barn) I entered and found a place. Most of us stood and the music began. The voices started to blend and I looked around at people I will not see again…

I Am So Sorry

Posted on February 20, 2023February 20, 2023 by Pam

On January 9th I traveled with our team to East London. I have not written since January 6th. That is so wrong if you have been faithfully following this effort to “Know God and to make Him known”. All I can say is that serving is exhausting. I was inspired but could not seem to…

Missing You

Posted on January 6, 2023January 6, 2023 by Pam

Why do I write? I feel connected to people and my thoughts and inspiration when I send a card, email, or write a blog. I have not activated my phone other than to face-time with family so no calls is quite a change from a busy real estate career. So many ways to communicate, even…

I’m Back From the Past

Posted on January 1, 2023January 3, 2023 by Pam

Greetings 2023. Yesterday I was in 2022 so today I am back from the past. Reflection is about done so what better use of a day than a walk to a monastery. It was about four miles (6.4 km) which is about my limit and mostly uphill – argh. We walked through several villages. The…

Our Stories Don’t Compare

Posted on December 30, 2022December 30, 2022 by Pam

Happy New year! This week is a good time to compare our past to our future. There is no straight line from 2022 to Heaven and now we get to live 2023. How great is that? I’m thinking of my friends son, a young father of two, having cancer surgery for Christmas. Not a diversion…

I Have Been

Posted on December 29, 2022December 29, 2022 by Pam

I have been the foreigner who cannot find the correct words. I have learned that wasser is water. I will always say “ja” instead of yes. I’ve been lost multiple times. I have seen the impatience on the faces of people who want to help me but don’t understand me. I have been embarrassed. I…

Three Nights and Two Churches

Posted on December 28, 2022 by Pam

I should warn you that this may go long. So much to wrap up after these break days for Christmas and New Years next. First of all – I love and will miss Switzerland. Here are some things I have learned but from my own view of the world. I may not be accurate so…

Every Walk

Posted on December 18, 2022December 18, 2022 by Pam

There is a very fine film called ‘A Walk to Remember’. I just returned from a walk and will try to remember every walk I have taken at Wiler. Because the time here is winding down, I want to savor even the hard ones. Today was one of those. I invited others but all are…

Inside or Take Away

Posted on December 17, 2022December 17, 2022 by Pam

There is an eastern restaurant that the bus from Lyss to Wiler passes. I always chuckle at the phrase that means pick-up or take-out. A take-away to an American is usually a summary of what you have heard. We constantly condense what we consider important and forget the rest or put it in a file…

"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
