Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
The Arts:
Christianity: (and Education) Ken Schenck tells us 10
top reasons for going to a Christian college.
Relevant quotes
from Queen Elizabeth's Christmas message, which included some preaching!
(and Science) David Heddle points out a serious problem for young-earth creationists -- how
did so many species come about after the flood?
Education: NPR reports that many
teachers are using the Harry Potter books in class. The series was
published in the US about 20 years ago. (I have posted about the series, which I like, and think kids should be encouraged to read, here
and elsewhere.)
Finance: Catherine Rampell says that the
Trump administration's recent handling of the financial system is about as competent as if they had been the Keystone Kops.
The
Motley Fool on the future of Social Security.
Politics: Catherine Rampell on how President
Trump did not stick to agreements before he became President, and doesn't do so now.
Michael Gerson thinks
the Wall is not a good idea. He says it's not a Reagan-like idea.
The Associated Press fact-checks
the President on the children who have died while in Border Patrol custody,
and, of course, he has twisted these facts.
Science: Listverse tells us about 10
strange species of birds, and their habits and appearance.
A clear and understandable guide to what
CRISPR is, why it's important, and the possible dangers, in Vox.
I thank one of my brothers for bringing this article to my attention.
Sports: I missed Bob Cousy's 90th birthday, in 2018. Here's
a video of some of his best basketball passing. Amazing!
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, I believe, it is
public domain.
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.
