Jesus Photo Jesus Christ died in 33 CE. French physicist Joseph Nicephore Niepce created the first known permanent photograph on metal in 1826 CE. Ergo, there are no photos of the living Jesus. But not when it comes to supernaturalism, especially of the New Age kind. After reading the non-fiction work When Prophecy Fails , I wanted to find out more about the people described in the book. Their names had been changed but with some Googling I discovered that the actual appellation of “Mrs. Marion Keech,” the leader of the doomsday flying saucer cult in the 1950s, was Dorothy Martin. After her prophecies failed in Chicago, Dorothy Martin moved on but kept channeling Jesus Christ – or the being whose real name, she believed, was Sananda. She ended up in South America, living in the Yucatan, with a new name: Sister Thedra. Jesus (AKA the Ascended Master Sananda) appeared to Thedra and cured her of terminal cancer. To prove that she hadn’t been dreaming, Jesus appeared in tangible form

We're due for a snow on Christmas Eve as well. I'll probably spend a good deal of the Yule shoveling.
Don't check the weather report? That's like entering the boxing ring and you don't know if your opponent has brass knuckles.
I have to check the forecast to dress appropriately and to be aware of traveling conditions -- by foot.

I don't have to do any shoveling, fortunately. I don't have a car and I live in an apartment house where the landlord takes care of that white crap.
At the same time, no car to shovel out has a downside. Too many sidewalks are never cleared; I have to trudge thru the slippery snow and ice to get anywhere. Another reason why I don't find this to be "the most wonderful time of the year."
On the upside: the days are getting longer.
