Bag of Randomness

  • Is anybody else ready for a three day weekend?
  • Look Who’s Talking came on the tube last night, and after recently just becoming new parents, it was a nice watch . . . even it was on the Women’s Entertainment channel.  It was worth the watch just to see WifeGeeding crack up, and besides, nothing else was on.
  • Woot.com is the second website I visit every morning and I’m an occasional customer.  I like their concept, they sell one product a day and have witty descriptions, and they are just down the road.  Yesterday it was announced they were bought by Amazon.com.
  • WFAA sure loves to talk about Texas Baptist Men and their efforts to help in disasters whenever they get the chance.  I’m not critiquing TBM’s service in response to disaster, but just recognize that TBM seems to be the only disaster service group that channel chooses to recognize.
  • I’m sure this will be a best seller at Lifeway bookstores this fall.
  • For the heck of it I decided to do a search for “Obama” on the Lifeway website just to see of they books they sold were mostly positive or negative.  Here’s the results so you can decide for yourself.
  • Interesting watch – tell time by color of the sky
  • For those of you that use to spend time on HotOrNot.com here’s WhoIsSettling.com.
  • The History Channel show American Pickers has caught my attention, and I think one guy looks like Cris Collinsworth.

Muslim-turned-Baptist out as Liberty University dean

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — A Baptist minister who toured the country to talk about his conversion from Islam to Christianity is no longer the dean of Liberty University’s theological seminary following allegations he fabricated or embellished facts about his past, the school said Friday.

The university founded by Rev. Jerry Falwell said that a board of trustees committee concluded Ergun Caner made contradictory statements. Although it didn’t find evidence that he was not a Muslim who converted as a teenager, it did discover problems with dates, names and places he says he lived, a statement said.

Caner will remain on the Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary faculty, but won’t be dean when his term expires on June 30.
