Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: A Relevant columnist discusses
her experiences with online dating.
Benjamin L. Corey re-examines
Romans 8:28, the verse that seems to be saying that all things work
together for our good.
Relevant tells us that being
in the center of God's will isn't always safe.
Literature: Listverse notes 10
important works written while the author was in prison. (Not
included: Revelation, and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter
from Birmingham Jail.")
Politics: Relevant points out that "Jesus
Never Worried About Politics."
Science: Listverse on ten
animal species that show real intelligence.
Listverse also has an article on ten of the most important crop
plants, that had their genomes changed significantly by ancient
humans.
Wired
reports that horse racers are using
DNA testing in developing successful race horses.
Wired reports that there are underwater
heat waves, and they are devastating to marine life.
DarkSiteFinder is designed to
show us how well we can, or can't, see the stars at night, because of light pollution. It has a link to an detailed map.
Sports: Wired tells us that athletes
in most Olympic events are helped by various equipment enhancements,
and, actually, are cyborgs, rather than pure humans.

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.

The two articles from Relevant are worth reading, and thinking about. The first is a new way of thinking, and I can see his point. I am so sorry that he lost three of his children.
The second Relevant article's headline was a bit shocking. I was prepared to argue, until I read it! The safety is eternal security, not physical safety.
The article about Olympic athletes was interesting. The technology is very helpful, but I think it should be equally available for all athletes competing in the same event.
As always, thank you for your comments.
