I’ve always heard that building a house stresses a marriage, but what about buying the house of your dreams? That decision of which house to buy was so much simpler 33 years ago when we signed the contract on our first house. What could we afford on two beginning salaries? Nine years later, when the …
This scene is from a walking trail near my home. The verse popped to mind when I saw it.
Synopsis: Annie Mac’s estranged husband, Roy, beats her to within an inch of her life and leaves her for dead when she won’t hand over their 4-yr.-old daughter. Hannah Morgan discovers the little girl and her brother, 8, hiding in bushes outside the house soon after Roy’s pickup truck roars away. Inside the house, she …
If you’ve read some of my previous posts, you’ll know Hubby and I have recently moved to a new location. We’ve lived in the Houston area for most of the last 33 years. Two of our children were born there, and all three grew up there. Now that they’re all out of the nest and …
Although my major in college was English, and I became a high school English teacher, my second love has always been history. Even as a child, I wished I could go back in time and see what the “olden days” were really like. When I first sat down to write a novel, it seemed logical …
I first became acquainted with Deborah Heal through her delightful historic/fantasy Time and Again Trilogy. Now, I’m excited to learn she has a new series out.

The news isn’t good. ISIS atrocities continue, seemingly unstoppable. Police are under attack for unwarranted brutality. Winter blasts keep coming with extreme cold and lots of snow. Marriages are crumbling. Drug abuse claims more and more victims. Ever wonder…is God even paying attention? Doesn’t He see what’s going on? Trust me. He sees. He knows. Remember Hagar, Sarai’s …
With Valentine’s Day coming up, everyone seems to be talking about love and romance. Never one to follow the crowd, I’m staying true to character this week. Because romance hasn’t exactly been on the radar while I’ve been overseeing painting and pressure washing and cleaning to get our house ready to sell. Did I mention …
My dog has taught me more than a few things about my relationship with God. Recently, a verse in the Psalms reminded me of another lesson. Rudy had been found as a stray when we adopted him. There’s no way of knowing his background, but two trainers I worked with said some of his behaviors …
If you’re old enough to know who Art Linkletter was, you may recall the portion of his television show when he would interview children. Their unexpected responses to his questions–often about their parents and families–never failed to make the audience laugh, sometimes to the point of tears. If Art Linkletter were alive today, I think …
by Mary L. Hamilton A year ago this past weekend, my mom entered fully into eternal life. Most of the last 30+ years, I’ve lived a thousand miles away from her. That didn’t allow for nearly enough contact, especially in the last year or two when even talking on the phone was no longer an …
