Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Health: From the Guardian, an article about how homeopathy,
and various other non-traditional medications, may not work, but they give
patients the feeling that someone is paying attention, and cares,
which they may not get from the regular medical community.
Science: From Science, a report on
how an amoeba, or ameba, can live
inside you and eat your cells.
From US News and other outlets, a
report on how women who "lacked or had an underdeveloped vagina and uterus" were treated with a
lab-grown replacement, cultured from their own tissue, and the
resulting replacement vaginas worked normally. Amazing.
Yes, your
eyes (and brain) do influence how much you eat, and National Public
Radio reports on some experimental evidence for that.
Wired sets forth the case for the earth
revolving around the sun, rather than the reverse. (Lest you
think
than no one acts like the earth is the center of the universe, how
long has it been since you said that the sun "rises?" (or "sets?")
That's language
suggesting that the sun travels around the earth.
Sports: Sports Illustrated notes
that Breanna Stewart,
perhaps the best player in women's college basketball, signed her letter of intent to play at Connecticut (who just finished an undefeated season,
including the national title) on
the hood of her car in a parking lot. She's not one for fanfare, for
sure.

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.
