Seeing Beyond What You See Posted on March 6, 2015March 6, 2015 By pamela So much of the time we just see what we see and go on. We hear what we hear and move on. How are you?

gleaning Posted on May 7, 2014May 7, 2014 By pamela Each Tuesday morning I make a short trip north in our little town to a church where I join others in gleaning what the Lord’s provided. It dawns on me that each week that’s not all He’s provided and the purpose for me being there isn’t simply to glean. But… Read more
