Sunspots 237

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



Science:
(sort of) Wired shows us photos of some really big mechanical devices (using device loosely -- the first one is a cargo plane).

NPR reports on experiments showing that ants are able to keep track of the number of steps they have taken away from their anthill.


Christianity:
Jan paid her tithe, and tells us what happened.

Philip Yancey has written his last column, for a while, anyway, for Christianity Today . He takes a thoughtful look at the way evangelical Christians do things, and is not altogether pleased.

    By the way the Yancy article was compelling as well... :-)

    Mr. Yancey did make some good points, but I don't agree with all he said.

    I loved the tithing article. Talk about living her faith! I may add her to my blog list.

    Thanks, Kerry, and FancyHorse.

    Jan is a good blogger.

    Yancey is a serious thinker.

    That's why I post SunSpots.
