We're going to be alright everyone! GOD is going to give us rain!! THANK YOU JESUS!

It's no matter that we've sorely mismanaged our water supply already, lets just leave it up to God to sort out our situation!

In a completely worthless gesture, Sonny Perdue plays to his base and is hosting a prayer service for rain, instead! It's on Tuesday at 11:45 at the Capitol building, be there or be dry!

This is looking REAL optimistic for Georgia. I seriously hope that things won't be as bad as I fear they will be. The most worthless comment released by Perdue's staff thus far on the matter? Glad you asked!

"Georgia needs rain. The issue at the heart of our drought problems is a lack of rain," Teilhet said [spokeswoman of Perdue]. "And there is nothing the government can do to make that happen."

My faith in our state government is inversely proportional to the amount of praying they do for a resolution to this matter. Lets just not bother having any radical changes and just suffer the consequences when we have that bridge to cross. Only... we won't really need to take the bridge, will we?

Whelp, guess I better get back to praying on some global warming!

it says this in the bible in reference to sonny's pray stunt

Submitted by teetaw on Tue, 11/13/2007 - 10:35am.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

--Matthew 6:5-6 (King James Version)

Gotta love the good old southern Christianity.

The Bible also says

In James, Chapter 5, verse 18:

And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Rain Prayer

Submitted by lovediscounts on Sun, 11/11/2007 - 9:29am.

Our Father who art in Heaven
Hallowed be thy Name

Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
but pleeaasssse send us some rain

Give us this day, but for now, skip our daily bread
and deliver us a slow, stalled tropical storm instead

Forgive us our traspasses
and all those who waste water on grasses

Lead us not into temptation, so we may show those in doubt
that You are in control and will deliver us from this drought

For Thine is the kingdom, power and glory
And we'll stop fighting about global warming

"We Want Rain!" Rain Dance

Submitted by muddle on Sun, 11/11/2007 - 10:10am.

The prayer is great.

But does anyone remember the old Merry Melodies cartoon of the Indians doing the rain dance, singing/chanting, "We want rain!"? It was awesome, but probably is left in the can these days because someone thinks it was politically incorrect.

I would like to see Sonny and his cabinet out performing this ceremony/singing this tune. It would be highly entertaining, even if no more effective.

The prayer is great.......

Submitted by gratefuldoc on Mon, 11/12/2007 - 9:30am.

Just as long as the "prayer" doesn't do it in Jesus' name in a Gov't bldg. or as a Gov't rep., that's all. Praying IS great..... in G-ds name in your own house of worship. Period. ;>}
