    Countdown until Earth Hour: 8:30pm tonight-Lights Out- With the words of Howie Day, “Is it dark where you are, can you count the stars where you are” from his song The Longest Night.  It makes you think how awesome it would be if everyone participated in Earth Hour tonight.  If the only light you could see amongst the concrete jungles in cities, was scattered candlelight in the windows of skyscraper buildings.  The city, your town, the road you live on, wherever you find yourself, just for one hour turned out the lights in honor of celebrating this amazing planet God blessed us with.  You could walk around outside and not be drawn in by the city lights, or neon lights, but the stars spread out like a mosaic of lights in the sky.  This is how I picture Earth Hour. 13 Creative ways to spend Earth Hour…. 1.
