Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: Listverse reports on 10
amazing objects made from ice -- some small, some quite large.
Christianity: Philosopher Alvin Plantinga on why
science does not rule out miracles.
Sojourners reports that Southern
Baptists, Jews, Sikhs, and Hari Krishna worshipers have come out against a zoning ruling that a mosque couldn't be built.
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware points to a free
web-based video studio.
Wired says that ransomware --
making a computer or network unusable, then demanding money to reverse this -- is becoming the most common type of Internet attack. The article
discusses ways
to avoid this.
Politics: Some reactions from important Christians to Mr. Trump: Sojourners
reports
on a "called to resist bigotry" statement, signed by sixty important religious leaders. The report includes a long excerpt from an article by
Russell Moore, an important official of the Southern Baptist Convention, who signed the statement. Here's
the Moore article.
Science: Listverse tells us about
10
organisms (not all are animals!) that may be as or more intelligent than we are.
Sports: Congratulations to Tim Duncan. His team, the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association, did not win the championship this year. (They have in the past.) But Duncan has won more games with the same team than any player in the history of the NBA.

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.
