I know. It's Christmas, but old habits are hard to break. Hence this post. Thank God for becoming incarnate!
Things I have recently spotted that may
be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Relevant on the
real war on Christmas.
(And politics) A Christianity Today opinion piece calls
for President Trump to be removed from office, by impeachment or at
the ballot box, mostly because of his lack of moral character: "His
Twitter feed alone—with its habitual string of mischaracterizations, lies, and slanders—is a near perfect example of a human being who is
morally lost and confused."
Christianity
Today has published another
opinion, supporting the first, and also denying that it is a
left-wing organization, or pro-abortion, or that it doesn't take the Bible seriously. Quite the contrary. The main problem, it says, is not President
Trump. "He is not the sickness. He is a symptom of a sickness that began before him, which is the hyper-politicization of the American church.
This is a danger for all of us, wherever we fall on the political spectrum. Jesus said we should give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to
God what is God’s. With profound love and respect, we ask our brothers and sisters in Christ to consider whether they have given to Caesar what
belongs only to God: their unconditional loyalty."
Computing: Gizmodo reports on the
50 worst (i. e., most easily discovered and used for bad things) passwords.
Education: Listverse tells us about ten
words that almost got spelled and/or pronounced differently.
(or something) The 100 most
popular US baby names, in 2019.
Finance: (and politics) The tax
cuts of 2 years ago haven't done what they were promised to do,
according to an NPR report.
History: (and politics) NPR discusses how
we came to be such a partisan nation.
Humor: (or something) NPR also reports that there
aren't enough Santas in Germany.
Politics: (And Christianity) Another article, a thoughtful one, on what
Christians should think about Donald Trump.

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.
