Monday Meditation ~ Choices
May 13, 2019
There are times, as you journey through life, where you have to make hard decisions. Choosing to follow Christ is one of them. I struggle daily with choices. Television programs are one of them.

Georgiana ~ Part Three
Before the week was out, the Darcy’s had arrived in London and were almost immediately beset upon by Lady Matlock and Colonel Fitzwilliam.“Aunt Lucinda, Richard, you are here at an ungodly hour. We have only begun to break our fast.” Fitz stood and gave their aunt a kiss on the cheek.
Georgiana and Lizzy started to push away from the table to stand, but Lady Matlock waved them down. Richard called out a cheery ‘good morning’ and promptly attended the sideboard. Lady Matlock settled beside Geor...

Georgiana ~ Part Two
Georgiana held the sealed letter in her hand and wondered what news Lord George Kerr needed to impart to both his brother and hers that required incurring the expense of an express post. Dare she hope he’d convinced Catherine to embark on a courtship?
A soft smile formed at the thought of George and Kitty married. One had to be blind not to see how besotted he’d been with her the week leading up to Lord Nathan and Caroline Bingley’s wedding. She was fully sure in her estimation that Kitty retu...

First Page Friday - Guest - Diane CHARTRAND
Welcome Diane Chartrand to First Page Friday. Today, Diane is sharing from her novel: Sia: Screams in the Night . Now I'm not one to read stories that have any suggestion of terror in them but there are a boatload of folks out there who thrive on the tension and there's nothing wrong with that.
I've known Diane for a long time. We met in a Creative Writing Course offered through the University of Western Ontario's continuing studies. She's a lovely lady and I know she has a passion for wri...
