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 is public domain. I am grateful.

Some important uses of the number five
This post is one of a series, beginning with two, and through ten, plus the number twelve. The post on three is here.
No doubt there are more important uses of the word, "five," but here are a few such. I especially like five-fold symmetry in flowers, as in roses and the morning glory family. Some roses have flower parts in multiples of five.
I might have included "pleading the fifth," but didn't.
TULIP, the so-called "five points of Calvinism," is explained here. As far as I know, there is no contrasting acronym for Arminians.
Thanks for looking!
