Untangling the wwWeb Posted on July 16, 2012 By pamela Untangling from an internet bound life is sort of like limiting coffee consumption (but worse. so much worse). You might not even know you’re addicted to caffeine until you attempt to go without it for a day — or, okay, a morning without it. And then, if you’re addicted, you… Read more
So you’re addicted. Now, what? Posted on June 18, 2012 By pamela When the day of my turning point came, I wouldn’t have been more stunned had a wrecking ball come swinging into my kitchen window.

Another day to reflect on the many blessings, provisions and calling of the Lord on this son’s life — the golden child, the brothers and sisters call him.

♥ Gleanings Posted on February 22, 2012February 22, 2012 By pamela This morning I’m reading in 1 Chronicles 21 & 22. There King David, yielding to the Lord’s chastening, chooses his punishment: “…let me fall now into the hand of the LORD: for very great are His mercies; but let me not fall into the hand of man.” (21.13) … Read more
Quintessential Motherhood Posted on February 21, 2012 By pamela Throughout that week I wondered what the LORD would have me to write for that week’s letter.
