Your alarm goes off. Ugh! You open blurry eyes to red numbers. Your first choice. Do you slam down the snooze bar or do you get out of bed?
Choices follow you. At a morning work meeting your boss presents data that isn’t correct. Do you say something? Maybe it’s better to not make trouble. A few hours later, that guy who talks too much is putting together a lunch group. So far nobody is going. You know he’s lonely but you brought a sack lunch to save some money. Should you be kind or responsible? Back at home, your precocious teen-aged daughter hasn’t done her homework. But she wants to go out to a double-feature with her more-wild-than-you-would-like friends. Should she stay home or do you let her go?
You get the idea. Life is full of choices. Constant, unending choices.
Wisdom is the ability to make good choices.
So begins You’ve Gotta Wise Up! a 31-day devotional based on verses from the Biblical book of Proverbs. A journey introducing you to every area of wisdom needed to live a smarter, more fulfilling life. Get started today.
Secret Murder Who Shall Judge? - Ellen Kuhfeld

In the days of old, life could be cheap. Death, however, could be very expensive.
“There is one problem. And here he comes, at this very moment.”
Yes, Thorolf Pike was trouble. Declared an outlaw and exiled from his home, he had come from Surtsheim, where his fellow Norsemen lived, to Northlanding, where English settlers lived. Now he was dead, by an unknown hand. Who killed him? And, should the murderer be judged by English law, or by Norse law, for the crime of secret murder?
What if, in the middle ages, North America had been settled by Europeans? The Americas would have developed very differently. Settlers from an eleventh-century Europe would have been on a relatively even footing with the local people. We could end up with an Anglo-French empire along the Mississippi up to the head of navigation at Saint Anthony Falls. North of that would be Norse, settling on the Iron Range; and north of the Norse, Finns. Large areas of North America would still belong to the indigenous peoples. Traders would travel about, by land and by river, as traders always have. At trade fairs, men and women of different lands, laws, and customs would come together. As always, jackals would gather to prey upon them …

Four years after burying his young wife, New York sales executive Christian Crews still can’t move forward with his life. Day after day, treasured memories of his beloved Elyse continue to drift through his spirit like an endless procession of mournful ghosts.
Chris wants to leave Manhattan—walk away from his job and the apartment he and Elyse once shared. He dreams of moving to New Hampshire, where he feels he just might have a chance of finding peace. But in his grieving mind, breaking away from those memories would be the same as abandoning Elyse—an unforgivable act of betrayal he could never live with.
Then, on the fourth anniversary of Elyse’s death, Chris makes two shocking discoveries, and a part of him begins to believe that she would want him to go on with his life.
Two weeks later he makes the move to New Hampshire, and minutes after arriving in the small rural village of Mountain Step, he meets a beautiful local woman with mesmerizing gray eyes and a heart as big as the surrounding mountains. Beginning another emotional relationship may be the last thing on Chris’s mind, but he soon finds himself falling for Gina Elkin, every bit as hard as she’s fallen for him.
Could there be a future for them? Will Elyse allow it? After all, she’s still deep within Chris’s heart—a place no one else has ever been.
It has been said that author Tom Winton is a man who writes with his pen dipped in his soul. Like all his previous Amazon best-selling books, his new novella, Within a Man's Heart, is packed with intrigue and emotion.
