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 675
Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Benjamin L. Corey gives some good advice about coming through life's trials with a softer, not harder, heart.
A Christianity Today writer tells us about true hospitality.
Relevant says that the record of the US on taking refugees is shameful and unChristian. (We've taken 11 refugees from Syria in 2017. No refugee, out of thousands previously admitted, has perpetrated a terrorist act in the US.)
Christianity Today reports on a Pew Research poll, examining what people mean when they say that they believe in God.
Politics: Mick Mulvaney, director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has acted again to protect financial institutions from scrutiny, rather than protecting consumers from being ripped off. Sigh.
For the first time ever, the Chaplain of the US House of Representatives has been fired, according to NBC and other outlets.
Science: Gizmodo and Scientific American discuss the Environmental Protection Agency's declaration that burning wood is Carbon neutral.
New Scientist reports that the ability to grow human brain tissue in labs raises lots of ethical issues.
New Scientist also reports that horses can remember whether you smiled or frowned at them the last time they saw you.
Thanks for looking!
