Bag of Randomness for Thursday, December 1, 2022

  • I went to a jazz concert last night.
  • When Christians tell me all the answers I need are in the Bible, I like to say that I’m not going to limit God to the Bible, God is bigger than just the Bible and will use other people and resources to teach, guide, and answer me.
  • There was a story years ago about Jimmy Johnson bullying Janis Joplin in high school (yes, they both attended the same high school). I thought he would address that in his book, but I’m almost finished with it and there’s no mention. In a 1992 Sports Illustrated interview, he claimed Joplin “never wore any panties,” adding “from what I understand.”
  • Regarding the Senate race in Georgia, Warnock hasn’t even stated where he stands on the vampires vs. werewolves debate.
    Edit: I’ve been corrected (Thanks, Angie)
  • Like the Pennsylvania Senate race, the celebrity Republican has a state residence problem
  • I’ve always thought rushing the field after a football game was a stupid thing to do. I’m a prude when it comes to crowd control and orderly conduct.
  • Sad headline, and he was only  37 – Musician Jake Flint dies just hours after his wedding
  • Christians now a minority in England and Wales for first time
    • The Office for National Statistics (ONS) results show that 46.2 per cent of the population (27.5 million people) described themselves as ‘Christian’ in 2021. This marks a 13.1 percentage point decrease from 59.3 per cent (33.3 million people) in 2011. The census data also shows that every major religion increased over the ten-year period, except for Christianity.
  • Detractors of former TCU football head coach Gary Patterson are most likely giddy with how the team has performed. With the transfer portal and NIL deals, you can’t even say the turnaround was done with his players.
  • When Christians tell me all the answers I need are in the Bible, I like to say that I’m not going to limit God to the Bible, God is bigger than just the Bible and will use other people and resources to teach, guide, and answer me.
  • Jon Meacham has a new book out on Lincoln, and was interviewed on NPR. He said that Lincoln was serving in the House and was on the House floor when John Quincy Adams died. For those of you who may not know, Adams was served as president and then later served as a congressman.
  • If there was ever a tailored event for me to attend . . . The National Cathedral, Bono, Presidential Historian:
  • I like this photo of Bono at a shindig he had for his book.
