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 749
Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: A Christianity Today article suggests ways of dealing with temptation to sexual sin.
Computing: (And Politics) A web page that lists the best fact-checking sites.
Education: Grammarphobia on why we say "zig-zag," not "zag-zig."
Environment: CBS News, and other outlets, report that Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument is being severely harmed by border fence construction.
Finance: (and politics) Catherine Rampell says that the economy probably won't be enough to keep President Trump from being impeached.
Catherine Rampell also points out that President Trump has brought back the much-criticized individual mandate.
Food: (and politics) NPR reports that most Himalayan pink salt is actually from Pakistan.
Politics: Catherine Rampell describes another whistleblower matter -- about the President's tax returns.
FiveThirtyEight examines the question of whether Democratic Presidential hopefuls Sanders, Warren or Harris are likely to move toward the center if they become the Democratic nominee.
FiveThirtyEight also reviews evidence that most of us (of whatever political persuasion) see things through serious bias.
Michael Gerson believes that President Trump is being driven by a bizarre conspiracy theory.
Science: The Scientist tells us that macaques are not able to hear patterns and frequency ratios in music.
Gizmodo reports on a study that indicates that human fetuses have limb muscles that disappear during embryonic development. These muscles are like those found in reptiles.
Gizmodo also reports on evidence that a large object struck the earth about 12,800 years ago.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.
Thanks for looking!
