Although this is posted on April 1, none of it is designed to be an April Fool's joke:
Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today reports that so-called "Heaven Tourism" books will no longer be carried, or sold, by a major Christian bookstore chain, and why.
The Environment: Relevant discusses six commonly-used items that we shouldn't be using, because of their effect on the environment.
Health: Two articles on the dangers of loneliness: here and here.
(and geopolitics)
Michael Gerson warns that humanity is not ready for the next really big epidemic, and Ebola isn't it.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight has published an extensive analysis of the Republican candidates for US President, and concludes that Senator
Ted Cruz cannot win. He will draw plenty of media attention, though.
Science: From Science,
an interesting study on how
life may have originated from non-life.

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 haven't read any of those books about heaven, and haven't wanted to, but if I found one at a used book store or flea market, I might consider buying it. (I wonder if anyone has said they might be "a bunch of malarkey" ;-) )
I think someone has.
Thanks.
