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 643
Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Christianity Today points out that (in spite of Article VI of the US Constitution) there now seem to be religious tests for public office.
Computing: A Scientific American commentary argues that e-mail should go back to being text-only, for the sake of cyber-safety.
Food: Relevant tells us that there is now a new kind of chocolate -- and it's pink.
History: Listverse tell us some facts about hurricanes, including how the naming system has changed.
Humor: (and health) Relevant reports that the tooth fairy refused to accept a tooth, because the child had not taken proper care of the tooth -- too much sugar, etc.
Scientific American has an article entitled "The Rise of the Recliner as a Male Social Space." Really.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight analyzes the changing religious affiliation (or lack of one) of voters for both political parties, and finds that both parties will have to change to continue to attract voters.
National Public Radio looks at Steve Bannon's view of US history, and finds it to be rather inaccurate.
Science: Nature reports that humans are evolving toward living longer.
Scientific American tells us how global climate change is making severe hurricanes more likely.
And Scientific American also reports that fireflies are in danger of going extinct in China, and why.
