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 691
Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: (And Science) Gizmodo reports that scientists have sketched the Mona Lisa using bacteria. Really.
Christianity: A theologian discusses "God and Creation." The essay is a readable summary of theology, and inspiring.
Education: A Scientific American writer tells us why STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) students also need the humanities. And it isn't "to make you more well-rounded."
History: The BBC reports that the recent weather in the UK has made it possible to discover important historical, or pre-historical, sites from the air. There are photos. I thank one of my brothers for this link.
Politics: Gizmodo reports that the US Defense Department is preparing for climate change. The report also notes that "climate change" was not a phrase found in the Defense Authorization bill. "Environmental Condition Projections" was used.
World Magazine reports on how the administration of Liberty University suppressed articles in the student-run campus newspaper.
Scientific American has an essay on the types of work that immigrants do (and don't do).
ListVerse reports on 10 border walls no one talks about. (At least they don't make US news reporting.)
Michael Gerson comments on the current President, who is a celebrity, not famous -- there's a difference, he says.
Science: Christianity Today reports on a Pew Research study, which found that Christians aren't much different than other US citizens, in their views on the applications of genetic technology. (Mostly negative) The respondents were mostly in favor of using genetic engineering to wipe out dangerous mosquitoes.
Thanks for looking!
