Leading in the Right Direction
Leading in the Right Direction
In Remembrance and with Gratitude
This week I was going to write a different message. One that relates to issues I see within the City of Goodyear’s General Plan. While I will address this topic before the Special Election, today I want to highlight a person who showed bravery under extremely difficult circumstances and who always kept her faith. Faith in our club, in our county, and especially in her God.
On Tuesday, the world lost Pamela Saal, a devoted member of our club. You may remember that last year at one of our meetings, we were asked to pray for Pamela who was hospitalized and fighting a difficult battle with cancer. Not long after that, she seemed to be winning her fight, and I thought she had come home. Yet I never had an opportunity to meet her.
Little did I know that she had been hospitalized again. Why was I unaware? Because Pamela communicated with me often by email, apparently even from the hospital. She never mentioned herself or her illness. Instead she emailed me links to political issues and articles that she found important.
Pam was a devoted Christian and lived her faith each day. Keeping her eyes fixed on the Lord, she also stayed engaged in politics and our club. She wrote many wonderful words of inspiration for our Sunday Newsletter.
She would often take the time to comment on my messages and on our club. Right up until the end, Pam never faltered in her trust in God or in our country. She wrote to me about her hope that Donald Trump would be returning to the White House, and that our country would return to its founding principles. Pam was no idealist, rather she was strong in her beliefs and grounded in faith, hope and love. I feel blessed that she took the time to share many of her attributes with me. She has left an indelible mark on my life and I know she has done the same on all of those who knew her and loved her.
What I have learned from knowing Pamela is that even in times of personal struggle, we can still focus less on ourselves and more on things that are bigger and truly matter. We can make an impact on others by our words and actions, even if we never meet them in person. Here are some of the wonderful words Pamela wrote to me in the past few months. I’m sure she would not mind me sharing them with you.
She wrote to congressman Paul Gosar to tell him how much she appreciated the fine work he was doing on our behalf. In regard to my message about the Congressman, she said:
"What a wealth of historical and factual information!! All citizens, not just conservative Republicans, need to read and be informed of these important truths!! We are very fortunate to have such an honest, intelligent, and righteous man working in Washington's DC SWAMP in behalf of Arizona.
May God continue to “safely protect” him and his family from those who would wish him harm as he continues to fight for truth, justice and to keep Arizonians informed as to what is REALLY GOING ON in our Federal and State Governments."
She wrote this about our club and our members:
🙏❤️🙏"God Bless PCRC for being a BOLD beacon of truth, salt, and light to the PebbleCreek and Goodyear communities. We must be proud of and not afraid to share our Christian roots and values. Lives are being touched and forever changed because of the new information and knowledge that is shared by this club."
Blessings, Pamela Saal
Her fitting final contribution can be found in today’s Words of Inspiration. She will be sorely missed. May she rest in Peace.
