What a great picture this is, earth at night. Without doubt a good bit of Photoshop stitching but still quite thought provoking. My first reaction was to try and identify some of those dots which appeared in areas I did not even know existed!
My second thought was how much space this world actually has to offer us. God made this planet with different climates and terrains to suit everybody’s needs and desires, but looking at maps like this makes me realise how simple man can be. We build colonies around each other and fight for land with extortionate amounts of money, but when push comes to shove, we like our own little space. The two most saturate locations on the map are Japan and UK, and as super states with limited geographic space this is kind of understandable. But it goes to show how we depend on jobs, modern technology and companionship!

Just looking at a map takes my breath…God created that?! How amazing!!!
This is such a cool photo! I think it’s so interesting that some of the darkest places on the map are some of the places where the light of Jesus needs most to shine. (well except for Kansas and Nebraska…there’s just nothin’ there…heh-heh)
Reading your testimony and your enthusiasm for the Lord has been such a blessing to me this morning! On Sunday, February 17th I will have been born again for 25 years! (man, that makes me feel old) Maybe I should blog my testimony. Hafta think about that.
Glad to have found you!
