Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: A man with cerebral palsy creates
artwork with a typewriter. Amazing. The
Mind Unleashed includes a video, less than 5 minutes, of the man
and his work.
Christianity: From The Daily Beast:
Rap
artists using their music for Christianity.
Computing: (and maybe Politics) The National Security Agency released a report on December 24th -- the release date, by itself, suggests that there
were things to try to hide -- on how data collected on US citizens has been misused, and how it hasn't helped catch terrorists, according to a report
by Bloomberg News.
Science: Wired
has an article on the most amazing discoveries
about microbes, in 2014. There were a lot of them.
National Public Radio reports that scientists are making progress on producing
artificial organs (which include cultured human cells) as a way of
looking for cures for various disease conditions, where mice are not a good model of human physiology.
Sports: Michael Jordan, arguably the best basketball player ever, turned 50
last year, not too happily.

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.
