David Review (Spoilers)

I went to watch the movie David by Angel Studios with my mom and my brother. As the title of the movie suggests, the movie tells the Biblical story of David who is anointed by the prophet Samuel to be king in place of Saul. After he defeats Goliath, David becomes well-liked amongst the people. This makes King Saul jealous, and he suspects that David is trying to take the kingdom away from him, so he tries to kill him.

The Princess and Her Pearls

There was a princess with pearls

Deemed holy, good, and bright.

They would shine in the morning sun

And glow brightly in the night.


One day, the princess saw a wild dog,

And she thought, “If it sees the pearls’ great glow.

“It will have a better life. I will give it some pearls.”

So the princess, meaning well, did so.


Then came a wild hog also.

“I’ll give him some pearls too,” the princess thought.

And she, meaning well, gave away

Some other pearls she’d brought.


But the dog and hog trampled the pearls,

So much so they lost their shine.

The dog turned upon the poor princess

And so also did the swine.

Inspired by Matthew 7:6.
