Hi! My name is Merrily. I am blessed to be a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, friend and more to some very special people. I am an historian and interdisciplinarian. I am also blessed to be a follower of Christ.
My hope is to be an encouragement to others, sharing what I have learned through experience and study.
My interests and roles are varied, so my topics and style will be too. I hope along the way, I can share something meaningful to you.
What I do
Home and Family My husband made me a shelf once that says “Home is where you hang your heart.” To me, home and family are central to so much. Every family member is important, whether they are born, married, or adopted into the family.
Faith, Hope, Love As the verse says, “now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity” (charity = agape or godly love) I Corinthians 13:13 (KJV). My faith is central to my life. I love volunteering, at church and in the community.
History and Literature I thoroughly enjoy reading, researching, watching historical and classical shows, and writing. I see life as a multitude of aspects intertwined to make a whole. As Shakespeare said, “There is a history in all men’s lives.”
