Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today
says that churches
aren't doing much to prevent divorces in couples who attend.
Christianity Today also has an essay on why complaining hurts us socially.
Computing: itools is a sort of
one-page yellow pages of the Internet, allowing you to find web sites that help you do things.
How to get your WiFi password, if you have forgotten it.
Politics: Republicans are often accused (probably with some
justification) for wanting to put barriers to voting in place. But
FiveThirtyEight, which is apparently not a right-wing site, argues that Democrats also want to put barriers in place, and that, for them those barriers are having more than one date for the various kinds of elections.
MarketWatch has posted a graphic, showing where US Foreign Aid goes.
It's interesting. It does not distinguish between military-type aid,
and other kinds, although the accompanying text gives some indication of
how much is which, for a few countries.
Science:
Wired on
the most beautiful caterpillars in the world.

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.

Interesting but sad article on divorce in the church. I think the churches could do more to help couples, but I don't know what.
I don't, either. Couples don't usually let it be known that they are in serious trouble until things have gone a long way.
