Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: A Florida State football
player ate lunch with an autistic boy who was eating alone in his
school cafeteria, says Relevant.
A blogger has posted some stupid
phrases, or good phrases used stupidly, for people in crisis.
Benjamin L. Corey says that Christian
parents should be celebrating Colin Kaepernick's refusal to stand during the National Anthem.
Computing: Bloomberg warns us that our
new refrigerators may be watching us (and sending information to
others.)
Education: National Public Radio reports on a study that indicates that when a child in school is exposed to violence in the home, it affects the entire class.
Health: Wired says that too many of us still
aren't wearing seat belts.
Scientific
American, and many other news outlets, on why the
ingredients in many antibacterial soaps have been banned. (Regular soap
is just as good!)
History: ListVerse on 10 people
who rescued others, who were on the other side, during World War II.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight discusses facts
about immigration, based on real data. (Example: Hispanic immigrants
learn English as well as, or better than, German immigrants did in the past.)
Science: Wired has posted a
graphic, showing how rapidly climate has changed over the past 160
years or so.
FiveThirtyEight discusses
what starlight tells us about the universe. As the post says, pretty
much everything we know.
Scientific American discusses the matter of calling
family members by some other family member's name.
Scientific American also discusses the subject of communicating
with aliens -- how could we learn their language (or the reverse)?
(There's a movie about that coming out soon.)
NPR reports that some lizards are starving to death, because it is too hot for them to forage during most of the day.

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.
