Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: A Relevant article discusses the
question of whether selfies are selfish.
Stephen Colbert (yes, THAT Stephen Colbert) discusses his faith with Oprah Winfrey.
Education: ListVerse has 10
recommendations for improving the English alphabet. They make sense,
but good luck with that.
Ethics: Christianity Today reports on a survey which measures how
various groups of Americans feel about lying. Evangelicals are most
opposed to several types of "white lies."
Politics: FiveThirtyEight on gun
control measures that have recently been enacted, at both state and federal levels.
A Fox News commentator says that President
Trump's claims that Amazon pays no taxes, and is hurting the US Postal service, are "absurdly wrong." Gizmodo also comments
on these claims by Mr. Trump. National Public Radio reports that the governing board of the postal service cannot make decisions, because it lacks a quorum, mostly because the Trump administration hasn't nominated governors for the post office.
Science: NASA reports that an
object from outside out solar system passed through recently.
Scientific American reports
on the new human organ, discovered a few days ago. Really.
Gizmodo reports on a study that shows why
cracking your knuckles can make popping sounds.
Sports: Scientific American has an article which argues that there
really are "hot hands" (streak shooters) in basketball, and other
sports, and even non-sport endeavors.
Thanks for looking!

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.
