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 748
Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
The Arts: The History blog reports that a painting by Cimabue was found in a kitchen in France. It will probably sell for millions.
Christianity: Christianity Today reports on another significant annual cut in the number of refugees that the US will receive, and points out that this announcement came almost at the same time that President Trump was extolling the value of religious freedom ad the UN. Many people, possibly including the President's (and my) ancestors, came to the US seeking religious freedom.
Christianity Today also has published another article on the effect of the cut mentioned above. It says that the results would be significant.
Computing: Relevant, and other media, report that men and women are not equal in how much they retain when reading the Bible digitally versus from a physical copy.
Gizmodo asks several experts what it would take to shut down the internet, if it could be accomplished.
Health: Gizmodo discusses the ins and outs of acne, and concludes that we aren't really sure how it works.
NPR reports that eating nuts every day helps prevent weight gain, and has other benefits.
Politics: Catherine Rampell reminds us of some of the ways that President Trump's actions, before and during his Presidency, have been driven by greed.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.
Thanks for looking!
