Quintessential Motherhood Posted on February 26, 2021February 25, 2021 By pamela Throughout the week I wonder what the LORD would have me to write. In an attempt to convey a message from my heart, I have the usual distactions. Distractions, buzzers, timers, calls, the dryer’s beep-beep-beep, the knocking at the back door… distractions.

Why didn’t I do this sooner? Posted on February 25, 2021February 25, 2021 By pamela I have in a folder a heap of “draft” blog entries — some dating back several years.
