Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Benjamin L. Corey tells us that Christmas
is not a pagan holiday, nor was it based on one.
Health: (or something) Listverse reports on how
hair color influences various aspects of our health.
National Public Radio reports on volunteer (almost always family members) caregivers. They need training, and at least some of them are getting it.
History: Listverse describes 10
mysterious libraries of the past.
Politics: Scientific American has published an open letter to
President-elect Trump, urging him to take six actions relative to climate change (none of which are to deny its existence! -- which he may, or may
not, have done) from over 800 scientists in climatology and related fields.
Science: (or something) National Public Radio muses on the topic of
whether the Neanderthals
had a religion.
Todd Wood, a young-earth creationist with impeccable scientific
credentials. discusses
a fossil of a dinosaur with feathers. (The fossil was preserved in
amber, meaning that it's better preserved than most fossils. The feather structure is clearly visible.)
Scientific American discusses
the intelligence of octopi.
FiveThirtyEight on the
Waffle House index for natural disasters.

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.
