God Ignores Lubbock Prayers ?

Lubbock, like much of Texas, is in the middle of a drought. In an effort to end the drought and bring much-needed rain to West Texas, Lubbock's mayor and city council came up with an unusual solution. They decided to just ask God to take care of the situation.

Recently, the town's officials passed a resolution asking all residents to engage in prayer and fasting on July 30th. The city said they had success in the past by doing this. Mayor David Miller had this to say, "Nobody is going to tell God what to do and what not to do, but we are in a serious drought in West Texas and since he is the man who controls the rain clouds, we're asking him for his mercy and help."

Well, the drought has not ended. Does God just not like the folks in Lubbock? I figure God was just too busy running the Texas Republican Party, and didn't have the time to answer Lubbock's prayers. Maybe the Republicans should have asked God if he wanted the job, or had time to do it, before they dumped their chairmanship position on him a few months ago. God has to be working 24-7 to plug all the holes in the Republican dike.

I urge the leaders of Lubbock to not give up. After all, you haven't tried dancing for rain, voodoo, or magic crystals yet.
