The God Who Holds the Stars
"When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?" -Psalm 8:3-4 NIV As long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by space and the moon. The Apollo missions wrapped up when I was just a baby, but growing up in their shadow, [...]
What Easter is all about…
“Surely he took our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered Him punished by God, stricken by Him, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of [...]
Why sin is such a BIG DEAL
“Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.” -James 1:14-15 NLT Fun topic today…sin! You don’t want to talk about it? Or even think about it? I get it, because sin has become a bad, dirty word. People would rather believe it doesn't exist (or is somehow a man-made construct) rather than [...]
How can I know God loves me?
“But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners” -Romans 5:8 NLT I used to think that I had to be perfect for God to love me and hear my prayers. This may sound ridiculous, and it’s a bit impossible, but by gosh, I was going to try! After all, the relentless perfectionist in me was always chasing after perfection in all things, faith included. [...]
A little bit of truth…and a whole lotta lies
Are you like me? Do you find living in THIS world so confusing?! Sitting is the New Smoking? 50 is the new 30 (uh…I highly doubt that!). And then there's the concept of a "humble brag" – how can something be both humble and a brag at the same time? Not sure that’s even possible. I certainly can’t explain any of the above, but when it comes to more serious matters, confusion is part of the Enemy’s plan. When [...]
Why God?
"Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.” -1 Corinthians 13:21 (NLT) It was the first day of the year, probably 1998. I was starting the year with a hike as I like to do, but it was hotter than usual for that time of year. At one point when I was SO exhausted and near death (okay, not really), I dropped to my knees and cried [...]
God is Still Good
"The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation." - Psalm 145:9 (NLT) Have you ever had a tornado of adversity; of loss, grief, sickness, financial ruin, addiction, or any other emotional turmoil hit your life? In the midst of all you are struggling with, do you wonder if God is still good? I know I have. And sometimes not when I would have expected it. You see, I was diagnosed with breast cancer 6 [...]
Hi there! I’m Pam, a graphic designer and big fan of God’s best designs…namely pine trees, lakes, flowers, sunrises and all things Space. You can argue those with me later, but I’m pretty sure those are his best works. I’m happiest if I’m spending time with my family & friends and if we happen to be hiking or kayaking in Lake Tahoe, well then, all the better! I don’t find clowns funny but do find humor in my dog Barkley’s daily antics and in witty banter with friends…just not at the same time. I love Jesus and sharing Him with others and wouldn’t want it any other way.
