Sunspots 917

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to others*:

Christianity: A new year's prayer from Celeste Charlene.

Politics: Vox complains about the US Fifth Circuit Court.

Science: This year is Gregor Mendel's 200th birthday. So some Czech celebrated. How? They dug up Mendel and analyzed his DNA. (The father of genetics didn't know about DNA.)

Not much to report on today.

Thanks for reading.

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:

Science:
From Audubon magazine: what happens when a whale's body falls to the ocean floor.

(or something) CNN says that there will be a blue moon on New Year's Eve.


Christianity:
Todd Wood argues, pretty convincingly, that God wants His will and purposes to be known.

"God does not leave an empirical bread crumb trail in order to demonstrate His existence." (from here.)

Kerry I Am posted a New Year's Prayer a few days early.
