View from the ISS at Night - By Knate Myers


I wanted to share this video again.  As I was watching the screen, my mind automatically accepted it as if I were watching a movie. The CGI is amazing. They made it look so real, so perfect. Then I remembered, I was watching actual video and not a studio film. I felt the same way I did the first time I watched this video. Amazed. All I could say is "God.  God.          ". I couldn't say anything else. I was mesmerized.  As my mind centered itself, I started to wonder why we have so many difficulties accepting differences.  No matter how widely varied our convictions are, the basis of religion still comes down to one simple, shared belief. A supreme being. A God. One God. He is known by many names, and is praised in many different ways. But we all share the most important belief. God. Christian, Mormon, Catholic, Jew, Rastafari, Islam, Baha’i, Jehovah's Witness, Sikh. Yoruba, Santeria, Voodoo - We all share the same belief that there is one God (or Universal Supreme Being). Many believe in Jesus as well. Beyond that, hundreds to thousands of years of varying beliefs may have changed, but we all still belief in monotheism. Regardless of the name by which you call Him, He answers all the same. Focus on that, and let God (Vishnu, Waheguru, Brahma, YHWH, Jehova, Allah, Olódùmarè, Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh - I Am that I Am) judge anything beyond that. When we look up we all see the same sky, and when looking down on ourselves from above all you see is one beautiful round Earth.
