Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: Listverse reports on 10
bizarre stained glass windows. Really bizarre.
Christianity: Relevant tells us that many Christians unknowingly
repeat errors
in their perception of the Christmas story.
Relevant also reminds us that no one
ever became a believer because a Christian scolded them.
"Six
Reasons Prayers are not Answered." (Actually, there are more in the
article.)
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware reports on a
capable free replacement for Microsoft Office.
And Gizmo's points to a free program that lets you download a YouTube video as an .mp3 file -- video to sound only, meaning you can play it without being connected to the internet. However, you lose the video.
Education: The New York Times reports that spending
more money on education "probably" improves it.
Health: Listverse reports on people who have had various
creatures living in their ears.
Humor: (or something) Scientific American reports on why it's so hard to get a gift that pleases the recipient. (There's an explanation.)
(or something) National Public Radio reports on the return of a book that was apparently checked out of a library in the UK, over 120 years ago.
Politics: (Or something) CNN reports that there has been a large
pipeline leak, about 150 miles from the much-publicized standoff (so far) on the Standing Rock reservation.
Science: Scientific American reports that 13
bird species have been recently been declared extinct.
Scientific American also tells us that we
should be getting ready to keep a comet from hitting the earth, but
we aren't.
Listverse reports on 10 things you probably didn't know about the solar system. (I didn't.)
FiveThirtyEight tells us that we
are all part virus. Really.

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.
