Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today reports on a Gallup poll
that says that the
thing most churchgoers are really looking for is solid Bible teaching in the sermon.
Christianity Today also reports on how the Coptic
Christians of Egypt have forgiven those responsible for deadly terrorist bombings of their places of worship.
A Relevant writer asks why so many Christians don't seem to be bothered by sexual harassment scandals.
Finance: Listverse on the unexpected
origins of some famous companies. (Example: Samsung started as a
grocery store!)
Health: Statnews on the
care of Alzheimer's patients at home, with state assistance, in North Dakota (which has a high occurrence of Alzheimer's.)
National Geographic reports that Dubai
is well on the way to becoming one of the greenest cities on earth.
National Public Radio examines
the possibilities of getting hearing aids over the counter.
Politics: Listverse gives capsule biographies, and photos, of 10
important, powerful North Koreans, who aren't part of their leader's
family. They are all male.
Science: The Principles
and Goals of the March for Science.
A Scientific American writer tells how
climate change is affecting Bangladesh, and how it will do so in the
near future.
National Public Radio reports on developments that may lead to an artificial womb, and on some of the issues that would raise, if it came to be.
NPR also reports that a caterpillar may be able to consume plastic bags, so that they are biodegradable.
(or something) Wired reports that thieves with two $11 devices can fool your wireless car key system, and steal your vehicle.
Sports: FiveThirtyEight has studied NBA
players who are slow to get back on defense. (Too often, because
they are complaining about a foul call or no-call.)

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.

Wow, the forgiveness of Coptic Christians. That was powerful! Amazing how love and forgiveness can change the world, just as Jesus told us. I pray for persecuted Christians everywhere.
A thoughtful article on sexual harassment scandals. Too many seem to forget or overlook the fact that men bear responsibility for their own actions.
I hope for the possibility of getting good quality over-the-counter hearing aids, excuse me, "devices".
Yes. "Wow!"
Yes, men do bear responsibility, and a Christ-honoring ministry, for example, can't really ignore such behavior among those who are ministering.
I hope so, too.
Thank you!
