Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity:A Christianity Today article on the
pervasive role of coffee in many churches.
Christianity Today also has an article on reasons why
we can't afford not to pray for each other.
A writer for Relevant points out
three lies that churches often teach about dating.
A Christianity Today interviewee wants us to stop
reading the Bible in little pieces.
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware points to a helpful article on how
to sort, and how to find most anything in your gmail.
Education: A Scientific American contributor weighs in on whether
tablet devices are a good teaching tool.
Politics: A Relevant writer says that "we" are not in a holy war with ISIS.
Science: Scientific American reports that people react
differently to moral dilemmas when they hear about them in a language
other than their native tongue.
Scientific American also reports that a bipartisan group of military
leaders is urging action to prepare for climate change. (The
Republican-controlled Congress has specifically barred the military from doing so!)
And, says Scientific American, there is an almost unknown group of soil
microorganisms, the Cercozoans, that occur in immense numbers, and astonishing variety, and are important in soil ecology.
Sports: (or something) The Associated Press reports that an 800-plus
pound alligator has been caught in South Carolina.
Congratulations to In Gee Chun (aka Chun, In-Gee) on arguably achieving the best score ever in a major tournament, by a golfer of either sex, in the recent Evian Championship. (ESPN; Wikipedia)

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.
