Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: The Piano Guys have fun, lots of it, with Pachelbel's Canon, here,
and here (these
are wildly different).
.
Christianity: BioLogos has a post on "Do
Dinosaurs Go to Heaven?"
Christianity Today reports on the Morocco Declaration,
the result of a meeting of many Muslim leaders, and some Christians, which Declaration ends thus: "it is unconscionable to employ religion for the
purpose of aggressing upon the rights of religious minorities in Muslim countries."
Relevant asks why
so many Christians are afraid of non-violence.
Ken Schenck has posted on what the Bible says about adultery.
Finance: ListVerse tells us how
to launder money, or at least how criminals do it.
Health: (or Neurobiology) ListVerse told me 10
things that the brains of babies can do - I didn't know about them,
and you probably don't, either.
Wired reports on the difficulty of replacing
the lead-containing water pipes in Flint, Michigan.
History: Listverse discusses 10 important battles, where the
winners were actually worse off after winning.
Politics: In Sojourners: Why
Liberals win the Culture Wars (Most of them, anyway).
Science: ListVerse has listed the 10
most important medical breakthroughs of 2015. I surely learned some
interesting things from that list.
Wired reports on an insect
that eats toads, gruesomely.

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.
