Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: FiveThirtyEight on the
decline in connection with religion among millennials.
Christianity Today reports on a
study of sermon length in various Christian churches.
Education: (and Humor) Listverse on ten
silly English words.
You
should look at these maps, in a post from Listverse. They will
probably change the way you think about the world.
Environment: (And Christianity) Christianity Today reports on
efforts, by the World Evangelical Alliance, to
use solar power for churches.
Health: NPR reports that exposure
to green light may be a treatment for pain, such as that from
migraine headaches.
Politics: According to Relevant, President Trump, in yet another
attempt to stop immigration, has issued an executive order prohibiting resettlement, unless local government agrees. An
evangelical group has petitioned governors to allow such resettlement.
Some governors have agreed.
FiveThirtyEight has a great essay on what's what with the two major political parties. Democrats, it says, are less about identity groups, more about ideology, than they used to be, and Republicans are more about identity groups and less about ideology, than they used to be.
Science: (or something) WHNS-TV reports that a
recent flurry of attacks on horses, in the field, were due to wild hogs.
Here's an
earlier report on the attacks.
The Scientist reports on feather-eating
lice -- they've been around a long time, like on dinosaurs.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it
is free to use like this.
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.
