Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware tells us that there is a free
Merriam-Webster Dictionary app. I tried it on my Android tablet, and
it works. It can even look up spoken words, so you don't have to know how to spell it to find it.
Philosophy: The BioLogos Forum has a two-part post on "Questions on Time and Eternity." A subject with lasting interest. Here's
Part 1, and Part 2.
Politics (and Sports): An article
on Dean Smith, super-successful coach of the University of North
Carolina men's basketball team for many years, who was also a pioneer in race relations, and against the death penalty. Unfortunately, Smith is a
victim of dementia.
Science: The sun is losing
about 5,000,000 tons of mass to Hydrogen every second. But fear not. At that rate, it won't stop emitting significant amounts of energy for about 5 billion years, and by that time, it will have lost only a tiny fraction of its mass.
From the Greenville (SC) News, an
article on a dog
which is said to have an amazing vocabulary, and can understand parts
of speech.
Sports: (And Christianity!) An article in the Chronicle
of Higher Education, no less, about the evangelical Christianity
that is part of the Clemson University football team.

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.
