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 774
Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else: (No April Fools' jokes
here)
Christianity: Christianity Today discusses the impact of Corrie ten Boom.
Some churches are meeting during various varieties of shutting down, according to Christianity Today.
Computing: Gizmo's freeware recommends a note-taking application, which has several interesting features, and is, of course, free.
NPR discusses attempts to prevent false information on Facebook and other platforms.
Education: A National Emergency Library will lend you over a million digitized books.
Health: (and politics) FiveThirtyEight on why we shouldn't "just try" drugs in the hope that some such will be an effective treatment for COVID-19.
Humor: (and Engineering) Gizmodo put up videos of 11 really cool Lego creations, which, among other things, will vacuum up Legos, and sort them.
Philosophy: (And Science, and Christianity) Christianity Today has a fine article examining the possibility of a multiverse (or multiverses) and the implications thereof. Part of the impetus for the article was the Spider-verse movie.
Politics: FiveThirtyEight discusses remote voting by members of Congress.
Science: Gizmodo reports that some squid, living in darkness, deep in the ocean, apparently communicate by glowing.
Gizmodo also reports that seismic activity levels are down, because many of us are staying home.
Earther reports on a bacterium that consumes polyurethane, a plastic that is, otherwise, almost impossible to break down.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.
Thanks for looking!
