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 686
Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Computing: Gizmodo reports that internet filters are not effective in keeping children from viewing pornography.
Gizmodo also reports on privacy concerns for those of us who have smart TVs.
Health: Scientific American reports that the Environmental Protection Agency wants to drastically curtail the use of scientific and medical evidence it uses in producing or modifying regulations.
The New York Times reports that administrative costs related to health care are very high in the US, probably mostly because of the complexity of the health care "system."
Listverse discusses the bacteria in our guts.
Humor: (or something) Gizmodo reports, with photos, on a man who let the fingernails on his left hand grow for 66 years.
(or something) Scientific American discusses the fear and joy of riding a roller coaster.
Politics: Gizmodo reports on the newly appointed acting chief of the Environmental Protection Agency, Andrew Wheeler.
To the surprise of many, the chair of the Federal Communications Commission has serious doubts about allowing Sinclair broadcasting to add more TV stations, according to Gizmodo.
Analysis of the falsehoods President Trump tells.
Science: Listverse tells us about 10 amazing extinct animals. Not Tyrannosaurus, or saber-tooths, but even more impressive beasts.
Thanks for looking!
