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 789
Things I have recently spotted that may be of interest to someone else:
Christianity: Relevant interviews N. T. Wright about the pandemic.
The US, under the Trump administration, is admitting far fewer persecuted Christians from other countries than it has for the last 40 years, according to Christianity Today.
Environment: California condors are making a comeback, thanks to efforts to save them, according to Gizmodo.
Science: The Scientist reports that innovative species of birds are more likely to prosper. The article mentions some amazing examples of bird innovation.
The Scientist also tells us that social isolation can have a detrimental effect on the brain.
Gizmodo reports on studies of Andean condors, which can soar, without flapping their wings, for as much as 100 miles.
The graphic used in these posts is from NASA, hence, it is free to use like this.
Thanks for looking!
