Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: A Christianity Today columnist who is not a Trump supporter cautions against looking down on evangelicals who do support him.
Benjamin L. Corey on the question of whether Jesus was a pacifist, or not.
Relevant has an essay on "How to Pray When You Don't Feel Like it."
E. Stephen Burnett argues that Christians need fantastic literature that appeals specially to them. Maybe so. I confess that I'm not a huge fan of most such literature. (I am a fan of good fantastic literature, whoever writes it.)
Weekend Fisher argues that rational thought is a natural process -- it isn't miraculous. (Which, of course, does not deny that God made it possible.)
Computing: Wired on Facebook's new privacy settings.
Education: Listverse tells us 10 facts about the English language that you may not have known.
History: (and economics, and Christianity) Ken Schenck on what the Bible says about economic structures in society.
Politics: (or economics) Wired
reports on a book about the economics of Star
Trek, which has what is apparently a fictional money-free
society.
Science: Listverse has a post on 10
strange anatomical facts about animals. Among other things, the post
discusses the tongues of frogs and the location of a tick's eyes.

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.

Guilty as charged in the Trump article, although I don't confront people. I prefer not to discuss politics at all in real life, and I don't really want to know if any of my friends and acquaintances are Trump supporters.
I really liked the English language article; it was very interesting, and I learned some things, but some I heard before elsewhere.
Thanks for your faithful comments. I'm with you on your first paragraph.
