Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: A list of 50
books a child should read before age 12.
ListVerse gives us an annotated list of the origins
of 10 common words, including poison, influenza and OK.
Christianity: Relevant asks why
more churches don't put women in various leadership roles.
Relevant also points out five
scripture passages that Christians tend to ignore.
And Relevant asks
if Muslim refugees are really a threat to Christianity in the U.S.
And Relevant has posted 10
"profound quotes" from D. L. Moody.
Finance: (and politics) FiveThirtyEight reports on a study that shows that the
children of richer parents, or parents who are married to each other, are better off than other children. This is especially true for boys.
Health: Wired reports that we
aren't certain that the Zika virus causes microcephaly.
The History Blog reports that a Canadian First Nations group has been using a certain clay
deposit for medicinal purposes, and that this same clay may be
effective against some of the most dangerous microbes.
Politics: A post in Relevant
reminds us of 7
things Christians need to remember about politics.
Science has posted about what
the Presidential candidates (some no longer viable) say they believe about various scientific issues, such as funding for research, global
climate change, and vaccination. There is nothing about origins in the article.
ListVerse has posted about 10 previous episodes where the US had to decide what to do with refugees. Our reactions were a mixed bag, for sure.
Science: The BBC says that the
gut bacteria of bears help them to prepare for winter, by storing more fat
shortly before they hibernate.
Wired tells us, with photos, that there have been several different volcanic eruptions over the last few days.

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.
