Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to
someone else:
Christianity: Ken Schenck has a short post on different ways
the New Testament authors used the Old Testament.
Computing: (or maybe politics) Leonard Pitts on how connecting
with people on-line can make us not see what's around us.
Gizmo's Freeware on a site
that lets you make a free web page.
Health: WebMD says that having a flu shot lowers the risk of heart disease.
Science: National Geographic reports that Eucalyptus trees in Australia deposit minute amounts of gold in their leaves, and that this might be useful in pointing miners to gold deposits underground.
Wired reports that it is possible to predict a child's ability in math by observing how well they can estimate quantities when so young that they can't yet use words.

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've read recently that 60% of people surveyed say they get their news now from facebook.
Yikes!
at least 1/3 of the stuff I see on facebook doesn't check out on sites like snopes or from my own personal knowledge.
I agree that that people have to be careful about forming bubbles.
News from Facebook?
Opinion, maybe, news, not very much, and, most likely, only opinion which matches their particular pre-existing prejudices.
