Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: My church, The Wesleyan Church, has a position
paper on homosexuality. A good one. (Note -- it was published in 2010,
so is not just a reaction to the recent Supreme Court decision.)
Health: The Guardian says that the
source of pain
in fibromyalgia has finally been identified. It's nerve fibers in the
hand.
The LA Times reports on a "reverse vaccine" for diabetes. It helps prevent the immune system from attacking the cells that make insulin.
Science: Linguistic science, that is. Business
Insider has published over 20 maps of the continental US, showing differences
in pronunciation (or vocabulary) by region. Interesting.
Sports: (Sort of) The Telegraph reports on an unusual group of football matches, being played between robot teams,
with the, er, goal, of being good enough to beat humans in a couple of
dozen years or so. (that's the football that everyone besides some North
Americans call football -- we mostly call it soccer)

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.

I have written an e-book, Does the Bible Really Say That?, which is free to anyone. To download that book, in several formats, go here.
