May the peace of God be upon us!
When we have the peace of Christ in our hearts, thankfulness overflows. Even in the darkest of times, we can praise Him for His love, and trust in His sovereignty. With a strong faith, no one can separate us from the love of God, that is revealed to us in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour. *************************************************************************** – Joan Amorganda #009-09022021 > my poem, poem, poetry, quotes, quotation, quotations, pray, prayers

Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
The book Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is considered as the most endearing love story ever written in the English language. I have seen the BBC TV Series which stars Colin Firth as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. This version, according to some critics is the most faithful adaptation of the book (so far). Here is my take on Pride and Prejudice after re – reading the book and after watching the movie 2005 version of the same title. ******************************************************************************* “She is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me…”! Seriously? Well, “what are men to rocks and mountains?” Imagining a blissful moment one afternoon tête-à–tête With Jane…

Moments of Reflection!
I wrote this poem dedicated in loving memory of my dear Ate Betty Veranga, who sadly succumbed to Covid-19 several weeks ago. The enormity and extent of this Pandemic may seem nothing to some people. Others insisted that this whole thing is a hoax manufactured by the mainstream media. That is why we see some people who are too complacent in their approach. They are even ignoring and discrediting the precautionary measures imposed by their local authorities on how to help curb the further spread of the Corona Virus in their communities. I may blatantly say that until you yourself carry this virus; your family members, friends or loved ones…

Happy Easter Sunday!
As we reflect and celebrate “Easter Sunday” to commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the core essence of Christianity, I would love to share with you a song written by Bill and Gloria Gaither entitled “Because He Lives“.

Let us believe in Him, entrust our lives in Him, pray harder that we will get through this the soonest. Meanwhile, we do our human best to keep ourselves healthy and…

Jane Austen – My favorite author
I have been an avid Jane Austen fan since the day I read her second book PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, and watched the different versions in the movies. My favourite is the one made in 2005 played by Keira Knightley as Elizabeth Bennet and Matthew Macfadyen as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy. The other famous version which is considered as the most faithful adaptation of the novel is the BBC TV Mini-Series with Jennifer Ehle, alongside my personal favorite actor – Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy. It maybe is too much but I have seen the movies several times and I even tried to memorise its significant lines as I encountered from the…
