Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Relevant says that the U.
S. is not now, or soon won't be, a Christian nation, and suggests
how to react to this.
Relevant also has a post on reasons
why we don't actually have a quiet time, even though we know we
should.
Listverse gives us 10
common misconceptions about the separation of church and state.
From the National Association of Evangelicals, brief statements on "Biotechnology
and Bioethics," "Sanctity
of Life," and "Bioethics
and Stem Cell Research." (These are not new, one going back to 2005,
but they seem to be current."
Billy Graham turned 98 a few days ago. Christianity Today (which Graham
founded) looks
back over his life, which was characterized by "chastity, integrity,
sincerity, ambition, humility, and, above all, hope."
Humor: (or something) The BBC reports on giant
natural snowballs in Siberia.
Politics: The Presidential election is supposed to be over by now. But
the New York Times examines
the effectiveness, or not, of fact-checking.
Science: A graphic, showing all
of the rivers, and their tributaries, in the 48 US states.
Scientific American reports that one-celled
organisms that act like both plants and animals are much more
important to ocean life than we had known.
Scientific American also reports on the reason why
first-born children make more money than later children.

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.
