the double standard of feminine dressssss Posted on October 14, 2008 By pamela I was listening to the radio as I was driving to pick up some of the children who were visiting friends and I heard a talk-show host comment (with surprised and almost disgusted amazement) that men are really going beyond the appropriate boundaries of dress when they will now buy… Read more
Hard to sleep… I’m a mother. Posted on September 30, 2008 By pamela Coyotes are whining and howling in the field. They sound horrible and shrill — like someone is trying to kill them (sometimes I wish someone would). Sounds seem magnified tonight… the dishwasher, the washing machine, the dryer, the icemaker and the water refilling it. O, and the coyotes. Suddenly, they’ve… Read more
Can you imagine? A whole new life? Posted on June 25, 2008 By pamela I read with some interest a news piece about a man who is auctioning off his life or, rather, his lifestyle and material goods, on eBay. Seems Ian Usher wants a fresh new start. I cannot help but feel sorry for the man… not for what he wants to leave… Read more
You just really gotta be paying attention Posted on June 2, 2008 By pamela Anything, repeated often enough, will be believed by the masses. And if you’re not careful, thoughtful and understand the Word of God and the enemy’s relentless attack on or distortion of the Truth, you’ll be swallowed up in the easy-believeism or the magnanimity of ‘leaders’ in ‘the church’ today. You… Read more
“Should Home-Schooling Be Illegal?” Posted on June 1, 2008 By pamela That’s the title of an article in this week’s Parade magazine: Should Home-Schooling Be Illegal? I don’t often read much of the Sunday paper – well, that is, unless an article catches my eye or unless there’s a series I’m following. So this week, as I was tidying up the… Read more
No answers; just get me results, please. Posted on May 7, 2008 By pamela The longer I live, the more I think that when people ask questions, they’re not truly looking for answers. Not really. O, they may want results or they may want things to be different than they are — and they may ask questions regarding how to get there —… Read more
Inconvenient results. Posted on April 28, 2008 By pamela I know that for many, the argument would be: there are no ‘sudden’ shortages. There might seemingly be ‘sudden’ shortages but such shortages would be better described that a realization that supply has been diminishing and media gets wind of it and produces news that sets off a hoarding frenzy….

A new journey. Posted on January 8, 2008 By pamela Today’s been one of those ‘not-so-clear-thinking’ sort of days. One of those, put the milk in the cabinet and the cups in the fridge sort of days. But I keep thinking: God is not the author of confusion but of peace and also that He has not given us a… Read more
The arm of the Lord Posted on December 14, 2007 By pamela Many times I have stated or thought in times of trial: The arm or the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save – nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. I say this in response to difficult situations, poor health, wayward children, financial reverses or… Read more
flood update Posted on December 4, 2007 By pamela We’ve had many inquiries as to our local rainfall and potential flooding of the River… Here’s the NOAA link we’ve been watching… and, so far as we can tell, the flood danger has passed even though there’s still a tremendous amount of water over the banks of the Snohomish… Read more
