Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Bible scholar Ken Schenck on what
the Bible says about wealth.
E. Stephen Burnett has written two "duh!" posts, about truths Christians need to be reminded of: our non-Christian neighbors don't
get God's law, and they don't
even understand God's grace in a rudimentary way.
Christianity Today on Pascal's
wager. (The wager was about whether it makes sense to be a Christian
believer, even if, say, Christian teaching about heaven is false.)
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware points to a site that will tell you how hard it would be to crack a password.
The Environment: (or something) Listverse discusses the
10 loneliest things in the world.
Food: Listverse reports on 10 strange soda (aka soft drink) flavors.
Health: National Public Radio reports on whether or not women need to have menstrual periods.
Politics: (and health) National Public Radio reports that a ten billion dollar program which was supposed to speed up getting treatment visits for veterans has actually
made things worse. Oh, dear.
Science: Wired on why
insect stings really hurt.
Listverse reports on 10 bizarre-sounding proposals by scientists, most of which were suggested as ways to alleviate Global Climate Change.
NPR reports on research designed to find out why we gossip.
Sports: FiveThirtyEight reports that women
get concussions from participating in sports at higher rates than men do.

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.
