Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: Left Behind is
going to be available through Netflix. E. Stephen Burnett does
not recommend it, from any source.
Christianity: The New
English Translation of the Bible, which can be downloaded free, in
various formats. It is not public domain.
A Christianity Today columnist has begun wearing the same outfit to work all week. (In this case, the columnist is a female.)
Computing: Metaflop is a web site that lets you create your own fonts by modifying a pre-existing one.
Wired says that Coolors
is a web site that lets you create your own color palettes, easily. It
works. I plan to post a poster, with colors selected from that site, tomorrow.
Gizmo's Freeware has a Free Windows Desktop Software Security list, annotated.
The History Blog tells us about the first selfie, taken in 1839.
Health: Christianity Today reviews a book that claims that Christians, historically, have embraced advancements in medicine, and should continue to do so.
Politics: Benjamin L. Corey gives statistics on how much (or little) Christians actually give that goes to help the poor,
and says that his support of government assistance isn't because he is a
socialist, but because, if the church isn't coming anywhere close to
meeting needs, then government should, by default.
Science: Time
reports on a baby, conceived in vitro, with mitochondria,
taken from the mother, and inserted into the egg.
National Public Radio reports on miscarriages.
They are more common than you think, and the most common cause is a
chromosomal abnormality. In other words, miscarriage prevents births of
severely abnormal babies.
Wired on why, and how, cats purr.

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.
