Another note of celebrating this son Posted on April 12, 2007 By pamela Samuel’s favourite hymn is: O Love that wilt not let me go. I smiled through tears just now as I listened to him play that hymn on the piano. He occasionally reads music, the rest of the time it just flows… and beautifully, I might add. Here are the words… Read more
Celebrating the boy and the azalea bouquet Posted on April 12, 2007 By pamela This is a great and marvelous day in history! A great day in His-story for our family… and it’s been a great day each year for the last 17 years. Even as I type this -17- s-e-v-e-n-t-e-e-n, I say: wow. Seventeen years -years!- we have been celebrating the birth, blessing… Read more
Cooking for a large family Posted on April 11, 2007 By pamela I thought I’d share a bit about cooking today for a large family. Oooops, wait a minute… you might just call it: cooking for a family with lots of chairs around the table. I’m getting a little sensitive to the term large family… you know… what with the need to… Read more
missing Kathryn Posted on April 9, 2007 By pamela Now two thirds of the way through her stay in Uganda, East Africa, we are sooooo missing our precious girl.

A mom’s gotta be pretty sharp… Posted on April 9, 2007 By pamela to stay ahead of boys. And even a semi conscious state of prayer blesses a mom and gives practical wisdom. I have to stop and thank the LORD often for His intercession on my behalf. I suppose I’d lose my mind, otherwise—that, or I’d sure lose a lot of ground… Read more
new crusaders Posted on April 8, 2007 By pamela Okay… I must say that I was outraged discouraged by that mock drill in the Burlington, NJ high school the other day. And, I admit, I was particularly offended by the inferences that Christians are gun-toting rebels who are propelled to hysteria if they can’t (or as in this case,… Read more
All hail. Posted on April 7, 2007 By pamela He is Risen, as He said. Just as He said He would do, He did. And because He did what He said He would do, He will do what He said He will do. We have His Word on that and not only that, He died and rose again that… Read more
I forgot I didn’t ever want to ever… Posted on April 7, 2007 By pamela …have a garage sale again. You know how I often say: write stuff down, for you will surely forget it? Well, this day reminds me to write stuff down, lest I forget and fall into temptation. So, the temptation was before me: should we have a garage sale or not? … Read more
sweet sleep Posted on April 6, 2007 By pamela I woke up this morning already in thought and already writing a message and as often happens, I completely lost the thought – though at the time it was complete and articulate (or so it seemed to me!).
