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 742
Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today reports that Bibles which are mostly printed in China and exported to the US, will not be subject to tariffs.
Relevant points out four Bible verses that are too often used out of context.
He Lives on why it makes no sense to bear arms in church to protect against gun violence there.
Computing: National Public Radio reports that lots of people, especially teens, are addicted to the Internet in South Korea, and what the government is doiong about it.
Education: Listverse explains why 10 common objects have the shape that they do. (Why airplane windows are rounded, for example.)
Environment: (and Christianity) Christianity Today considers the matter of whether Christian businesspeople should be concerned about the environment.
Food: NPR discusses the pros and cons of grass-fed versus feed lot fed beef.
NPR reports that our banana supply is at risk.
Politics: Michael Gerson doesn't like many of the words used in the President's discourse, but thinks objecting to his language, but ignoring his attacks on human dignity, is hypocritical and short-sighted.
NPR discusses the remarkable power of the Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell.
Internet watchdog Snopes has discussed a study on how people believe in the truth of satire.
Science: Gizmodo reports that a young woman had a "twin" growing inside her body.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.
Thanks for looking!
