Stripped

Posted on March 3, 2025March 3, 2025 by Pam

What I remember about a rainbow is the order of color – ROY G BIV – red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. God designed it. He created such a beautiful world that displays all combinations of His colors. When asked last minute to teach children it is my go-to lesson and craft. Many age groups can understand its meaning. I remember learning that it is the rainbow of God’s promise and God keeps His promises. “And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant…'”, Gen 9:12-15a. This precious and miraculous gift from God has been misunderstood and misused. Its true meaning has been stripped away. A flag with a rainbow is wrapped around a naked man riding his bike in a parade somewhere in Seattle. God’s purpose is to remind Him and naked guy and every living creature that He will not let the rain destroy the whole earth. He loves us and has ordained a time and place for the second coming of Jesus to gather His people. All are invited but it is not good to mock God by misusing the rainbow. God also “resists the ‘proud’ and gives grace to the humble”. Pride and rainbow do not belong together. Restore the truth that God’s rainbow is in the sky for a reason. Do not demean what God has done in His holiness. Please enjoy the rainbows that take your breath away in beauty and purpose. I embroidered this denim shirt for my Dad close to fifty years ago.

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!
