Googling the Bible
Well, Google-earthing the Bible? 
Anyway, today I came across a nifty web page, “Bible Geocoding” It’s over on the Open Bible
website. Our internet connection’s a bit flaky today, neither Yahoo! nor MSN Messenger programs are logging on and Google Earth’s not making a connection either so I’ll have to wait ’til later to truly surf around. Weird. Anyway, the page referenced above has a number of .kmz files (Google Earth’s pushpin locater links) linked on it. You can download the .kmz links to the whole Bible’s identifiable places or you can scroll down the page and select according to individual books or chapters. We’ve found Google Earth to be fun. It allows you to zoom in on various parts of the world. We used it to get a feel for an area we were going to hunt last year (2006) and we’ve also used it to locate our house from the air and to see where places are in relation to each other. It’s a nifty, free for the download, tool. And now, with the links to Bible places, it promises to be even more useful!
