Literary Wisdom: The Deerslayer

June 27, 2018 spiritfilledgirl

James Fenimore Cooper's The Deerslayer is the most charming and profound frontier story that passed before my eyes. Though I would not be surprised if the novel is one of the lengthiest and most drawn-out in the genre, Cooper managed also to instill lessons of integrity, deception, and natural beauty into the genre that is usually characterized… Continue reading Literary Wisdom: The Deerslayer

King David’s Prayer, Part One

June 9, 2018 spiritfilledgirl

The first prayer I studied on Defy Augury was the one of King Solomon, in which he dedicates his newly-built temple. In that series, we discussed everything from the king's humility to his sincerity, from Solomon's desperation even to his very posture while praying. Yet we never delved into the history of the temple—how came Solomon the… Continue reading King David’s Prayer, Part One

Five Favorite Podcasts

June 6, 2018 spiritfilledgirl

If there's anything I enjoy besides talking about everything I love, it's hearing others share in what and whom I love best. Podcasts, I believe, do that in perhaps the best manner possible in our modern age, spreading counsel, knowledge, and beauty to everyone who has ears to hear—for free! As such, when I'm not… Continue reading Five Favorite Podcasts
