Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today has published a graphic,
with accompanying text, on "The Sex Lives of Unmarried Evangelicals."
Conclusion: Evangelicals are not having sex outside of marriage as often
as some people have said that they are.
Computing: (and maybe politics) It is now possible to make
a handgun with a 3-D printer, according to National Public Radio and
the BBC.
Science: National Public Radio on some of the structures
of the tongues of animals, especially bats, and how those tongues are
used.
NPR reports
on recent research which created cloned human embryos, for the purpose
of producing embryonic stem cells for therapeutic purposes. This is in
the earliest stages -- no therapeutic treatments have been attempted
yet. The NPR article indicates the obvious, namely that there are lots
of serious ethical questions raised by this research.
Note: If anyone cares, I have published this part of my blog on Wednesdays, without fail, for years. The previous Wednesday, and surrounding days, were unusually busy. So I'm publishing on Friday.

Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.

I have written an e-book, Does the Bible Really Say That?, which is free to anyone. To download that book, in several formats, go here.

I always look forward to SunSpots.
It's what I comment on the most … I think.
I think so, too.
Thanks, atlibertytosay.
