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.

Sunspots 602
Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: I've probably mentioned this before, but it deserves repeating. Relevant has a post on the Good Samaritan and refugees.
Food: The History Blog reports that turkeys were domesticated in North America at least 1500 years ago.
Health: Relevant reports that the U. S. abortion rate is the lowest it's been since 1971,
History: Listverse tells us about 10 ancient female warriors, and their exploits. Deborah and Yael (Judges 4) are not mentioned.
Listverse also discusses 10 ancient languages, which you may have never heard of.
Politics: (or something) Relevant reports that the UN says that there are 25,000,000 orphans in Africa.
Science: National Public Radio points out that humans did not invent agriculture.
