Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: (and politics, I guess) Christianity
Today reports on how World
Relief has re-settled many thousands of refugees into the US.
And Christianity Today has an
article on how becoming
a Christian is like getting a bone marrow transplant. Really.
Computing: Christianity Today
interviews an expert on the "pornification"
of social media, especially by teen-aged girls.
Wired says that closing
your apps doesn't save battery life, and explains why.
Science: Listverse on some recent
findings in ant behavior. Example: in at least some species, some of
the time, some of the worker ants don't seem to do anything productive.
Listverse has also posted about some commonly
believed "facts" about some animals, that are not true. Example:
praying mantis females always eat the head of the male who is mating with them.
And Listverse reports on 10 animals that can clone themselves. Some of these are vertebrates -- no mammals or birds, though.
Wired reports that microbes are beginning to replace chemical insecticides in agriculture.
Wired also reports on a strange finding about prime numbers.

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.
