World Maps

Finally, I got my new world map up on the wall! It took some time to hang because my lovely wife pasted the map on to a canvas that she had built. But now it is done and hanging above my desk for me to enjoy.

I love maps because I like to see the big picture. I love to wonder at all the countries, cities, and the diversities of their people. I love to look at all the places that I have been and the places that I hope to go. Most of all, I love to admire the one who created the world and every beautiful detail in it out of nothing.

Anybody else love maps?

    LOve the Map, I have such fond memories of my grandfather,on road trips, would pull out maps and I would follow on the map where we were going.

    Son,
    You use to have a world map hanging in the garage. A couple of months ago, we finally took it down. It was old and nappy! It was a nappy mappy!
