Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: A Relevant article on memorizing
scripture, which, the article says, is the most important spiritual
discipline.
Listverse on 10 misconceptions (sorry!) about the birth of Christ.
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware reports that there is a Windows
program that copies files to your iPad or iPhone, and it's free
until January 10, 2017.
Health: Scientific American reports that hospitals and nursing homes often do not report outbreaks of infectious diseases which are difficult to stop.
Humor: (or something) Listverse reports on 10 unique gingerbread houses.
Philosophy: (sort of) National Public Radio has a discussion of what we get (or don't get) out of being grateful.
Politics: (or not) Relevant has an essay on the difference
between biased news and fake news, and reports that Facebook is
trying to keep the latter from its site.
Congress and President Obama have agreed on something! -- a
statement on world-wide religious freedom.
National Public Radio reports on the
difficulty that some US citizens have in proving their citizenship.
They may be jailed, or have to pay for an attorney.
Science: Scientific American reports that a South African
teenager has invented a product
that should help mitigate drought, inexpensively.
(And Politics) Scientific American also has published a list,
with documentation, of bogus
science-related claims made by politicians in 2016.

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.

I have written an e-book, Does the Bible Really Say That?, which is free to anyone. To download that book, in several formats, go here.
