Write this memorial & rehearse it Posted on April 12, 2015May 4, 2015 By pamela [cp_dropcaps]S[/cp_dropcaps]o much on my mind lately that I’m overwhelmed if I indulge in thinking too long without something to specifically direct my thoughts.

Creating Inspired Moments Posted on March 13, 2015March 21, 2015 By pamela I have a few Starbucks aprons I’ve picked up, second hand, along the way. One of them has a printed tape inside the top of the apron. I’m assuming it was positioned there so that it would be seen (and intentionally read) each time the barista positioned the neck strap… Read more
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?

Standing in the Son Posted on March 2, 2015March 2, 2015 By pamela Though I use it most every day, it’s only every now and then that I take note of the verse imprinted on the cover of the notebook I’m currently using: “May the Lord bless you and keep you, and give you peace.” from Numbers 6.24-26 I have dozens of such… Read more
Each Day is Like Heaven Posted on February 24, 2015March 3, 2015 By pamela Over the years, standing at the sink many times each day, I’ve seen the most remarkable sights… all the changes each season brings.

This Beautiful Life Posted on February 23, 2015April 10, 2015 By pamela As I mentioned in my previous post, one evening a month, I have the privilege of sharing a message with a “TitusTwo” group of women. As I wrote out that message on Communication, I was mindful that there was going to be a presentation by another sister at the meeting. … Read more
the power of communication Posted on February 20, 2015February 21, 2015 By pamela Regardless the circumstance, the importance and power of good communication cannot be understated. The impact of either good or bad, clear or muddled, distinct or vague communication is powerful.
