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. I’m happy and fine and then a memory pops into my mind. It was a Mother’s day with an outdoor brunch. The weather was perfect and so were the huevos rancheros. That special feeling on that special day does not disappear because the table is gone but the thought of being a mom and being loved for being a mom is heavenly. Next – too many shoes. Goal – get rid of anything with a heel that could put mature ankles at risk. If you are laughing at me now it is because you know me and know that I like my stuff. I do know that this is worth it. Lord please help me to see people and value people in the way you do. Guide me in this letting go of 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!
