Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: An essay in Relevant on "What We Get Wrong about Humility." A lot, it seems.
Computing: Gizmo's Freeware tells us about a free Windows program to recover deleted files.
Gizmo's also advises on upgrading (or not) to Windows 10.
And Gizmo's points to a treasure trove on YouTube: Over half a million old news clips, of the kind you used to see with movies, if you can remember that far back.
Education: FiveThirtyEight, the statistical site, says that having students evaluate teachers is actually working pretty well.
The New York Times tells us that there aren't really many differences between colleges.
The Environment: FiveThirtyEight (and other outlets) tells us that the first six months of 2015 were the hottest such ever recorded. The report gives details for a number of US cities, some of which experienced some cold weather, too.
Politics: (Or violence) More US residents have been killed, in
terror attacks, by white supremacists, than were killed in terror attacks by jihadists, since
September 11, 2001. See here and here, for details.
And Relevant gives us some shocking statistics about gun violence in the US.
Benjamin L. Corey asks if my (or your) version of Christianity has become Americanized.

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.
