There are too many people in prison, including too many young people.

The Invisible Magic Friend values all people equally. Until he discards those that are condemned to everlasting torment.

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, Christmas cards. Or possibly, Home. No, I think I’ll do Christmas cards. With maybe a little bit of home. Then there’s those who don’t have a home, or Syria, or Gaza and of course, the Hebrew Prophets who have so much to do with all of this.

So in conclusion, Christmas cards.

Or Home.

Syria is free! Which brings me to the temporary death of Jesus, Plato’s Republic, and the incredibly wonderful, amazing, joyful, everlasting afterlife that no one has ever seen.

Hurrah, the people of Syria are free! What could possibly go wrong?

The Big Book of Magic Stuff tells us that empires come and go. Except China. The Big Book of Magic Stuff didn’t know about China and no one told the Invisible Magic Friend.

Which brings me to Jesus and Leonard Cohen’s song “Hallelujah”.

Surprisingly, there were a couple of hours of clear skies this week. I managed to improve a little on my Jupiter skills.

The four bright dots are the Galilean moons. Actually these are just placeholders. The real moons are very feint at this exposure. In order from left to right, Calisto, Europa, Io and Ganymede. That little dot, Ganymede, is twice the size of our moon!

Also managed to grab a picture of Bode’s galaxies using the Carl Zeiss lens. Although the colour seems a bit washed out in this one.
