Donald Trump’s clown car is filling up. He values loyalty above experience, capability or integrity. This is no different from many ordinary organisations.

Christians owe an absolute loyalty to the Invisible Magic Friend. Humans, and all their petty concerns with things like morality and law, come a distant second. I can’t see how this could cause any problems at all.

Coal and oil is a gift from the Invisible Magic Friend. But it’s a bad gift that we mustn’t use. The Invisible Magic Friend has given us other gifts, like life. That’s a good thing. The Invisible Magic Friend created the universe and saw that it was good. Except coal and oil. They’re bad.

When the moon is almost full there’s little point in trying to photograph anything else. So here are some moon pics. In all cases, the brightness has been slightly reduced and the contrast slightly increased to try and bring out more features.

All Taken with a Panasonis Lumix GF7 at prime focus through a Sky-Watcher Heritage-150P Flextube Virtuoso GTi telescope from my back garden in Southend. Iso 800, 640th sec exposure.

Cropped and centered on Tycho crater (the location of the “monolith” in 2001).

I couldn’t help contrasting this with a picture from 19 May, when the moon was a little less full. You get a much nicer view of Tycho, but what really comes out a lot better is Clavius crater to the south, with its multiple daughter craters.

Cropped and centered on Aristarchus, generally considered the brightest feature on the moon.

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, Happy Nearly Birthday of Guru Nanak everybody!

Guru Nanak was born, traveled and talked. Wasn’t he brilliant. He particularly believed in hearing all points of view and engaging in open debate. Hearing what others have to say is so important.

As this is Thought for the Day, this is not open for discussion.

The AB of C has resigned over the cover up over the abuse by John Smyth. This was the right thing to do as Jesus said to protect the little children; a passage that has now been uncovered by C of E biblical scholars and which has totally changed our thinking about the subject.

We will now enter a period of deep thought and reflection, as we always do in circumstances like this, because it always works.

As this is Thought for the Day, the subject is now closed and you may not discuss this further.
