Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today
has an article on how
to help people in need, without creating beggars, or destroying their
dignity. The article considers both foreign and domestic charity.
Relevant has an article warning
Christians not to judge those in need.
Humor: Relevant shows us what
Dunkin' Donuts' "Holiday Cup" looks like.
Politics: A thorough analysis, comparing
the amount residents of each state pay in federal taxes, compared to the amount that state, and its individuals, receive back from the federal
government. Over all, "red" states are more dependent on the federal
government than "blue" states. Some of the reasons for that are that Southern states tend to have more retirees, and also more people in poverty,
and that natural disasters tend to strike Southern states more often. There's a lot more, including many comments.
The New York Times reports on simplifying
the tax code. It's not as simple as some people think it would be.
People speaking for Muslim countries have condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.
BuzzFeed has posted a picture essay on where and how Syrian refugee children sleep.
Science: Public Radio International has a post on myths about spiders. (They aren't as scary as we seem to think.)

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.

It is distressing to me to see the hateful, unChristian comments about the refugees' plight that are posted by people who call themselves Christians.
Yes. I agree.
Thanks.
