Boast Not

Posted on September 1, 2022September 1, 2022 by Pam

James 4:14-16 “…yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we will LIVE (yes, God is in charge of that too) and do this or that’. As…

The First Mission Field

Posted on August 25, 2022September 7, 2022 by Pam

Thank you for following me as I work at following Jesus. I make a habit of reading the daily devotions in Our Daily Bread. On Monday, I read Deuteronomy 4:9-14 and I hope this all sounds familiar. Quoting the devotion, “One of the most wonderful ways parents and grandparents can influence their children is by…

PRAISING OUR GOD: So much to be grateful for. Open doors and provision for this missions trip and training. It is looking good and then I learn that my visa application was misplaced but is now found! Thank the Lord. Please pray that the timeline will be met and I will have visa in hand…

What Is Being Added

Posted on August 20, 2022August 20, 2022 by Pam

Thank you for following me as I try to follow Jesus. I last wrote about downsizing in preparation for this new season of serving. That is an action of thoughtful dispersing. I have a note-to-self which reads, “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful”….

Simple Is Not Always Simple

Posted on August 11, 2022August 11, 2022 by Pam

Thank you for following me as I work at following Jesus. It is only a table and now belongs to the son of one of my dearest friends. I’m “simplifying”. I need increased mobility in this next season of service in other places. It is one more reminder that we can’t take it with us….

Missions: The Why

Posted on July 31, 2022July 31, 2022 by Pam

The sun was shining through the window on a Sunday after church. I was five and had learned about Heaven that day and told my Mom I was going. She explained how I get to Heaven and I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. No turning back. Baptized at nine, camp counselor, youth and…

What Was He Thinking?

Posted on January 22, 2021January 22, 2021 by Pam

What was he thinking? They thought the man walking on water was a ghost but it was Jesus. Peter was all in with joining the miracle. Don’t you know people like that who want to be in the middle of good things that they had no part in creating? I guess it is human nature….

Swoosh – Swish

Posted on January 6, 2021January 6, 2021 by Pam

It stopped raining. Win for Pam, loss for Seattle. I was finally able to assess the damage of the heavy January rains. My yard is small but still there was toppled art and water-filled pots. I also puzzled over what to trim back as so many leaves looked like a candidate for a compost bin….

"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
