Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Ben Watson, professional football player, and black man, has written a thoughtful
piece on the events in Ferguson, Missouri.
Computing: (or something) National Public Radio on the Supreme Court hearing a case about a man who threatened
to kill his wife on Facebook, and continued to do so, in spite of a
restraining order and a visit from an FBI agent. He claims that this is free speech.
Humor: Relevant examines
some Christmas songs carefully, and wonders why we listen to them.
Politics: Surprise! NPR reports on a study that says that making campaign contributions
to candidates leads to lower taxes for companies that do so.
Science: (or something) Wired
reports that ants efficiently
clean food off the streets of New York City. (about one-fourth of the
trash in that city is food.)
Wired also reports on treehoppers,
some really strangely shaped, and sounding, insects.
Sports: A Clemson University football player, Artavis Scott, did an amazing
ballet for the last few yards of a touchdown run, running sideways,
and staying in bounds.

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.
