Sunspots 752

Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:


Christianity: (and Politics) A Christianity Today article examines the connection between Paula White-Cain and evangelicals. White was featured at President Trump's inauguration.


A Relevant writer tells about being a fat Christian.


Christianity Today reports that European students are praying for revival in 40 countries, most of which have 1% or less who say they are evangelical Christians.


Computing: A Gizmodo writer says that Google and Facebook can help you to search for your (or someone's) license plates. Note - Google doesn't seem to have been interested in our vehicles. Yours, maybe.

Environment: For the first time in 10 years, air pollution in the US  is increasing, according to Earther.

Gizmodo reports that the Trump Administration claims that the border wall helps to preserve the environment.

History: Listverse tells us the stories of 10 people whose lives were ruined for doing the right thing. Sad.

Politics: FiveThirtyEight has a crash course on Executive Privilege.

Catherine Rampell writes that the Trump Administration's "deregulation" hasn't really helped the economy much, and in some cases has hurt it.

Science: Earther reports that lightning flashes may be hundreds of miles long.

  2. Pretty sure that's not a good thing. I am not a fan of the Prosperity Gospel nor of a strong connection between the state and the church.
