Bob Riley urges Alabamians to pray for rain
2007 June 28
The Governor has issued a proclamation declaring June 30 through July 7 as “Days of Prayer for Rain” in Alabama, and he is asking citizens to pray individually and in their houses of worship for rain.
“Throughout our history, Alabamians have turned in prayer to God to humbly ask for His blessings and to hold us steady during times of difficulty. This drought is without question a time of great difficulty for our farmers and for communities across the state,” Governor Riley said.
This can’t set a good precedent. Who’s he going to blame when/if the drought continues?

For the record, I’ve been praying for rain. Sooner or later it will rain and I can say my prayers have been answered.
On the other hand, maybe I need to be a little more specific.
I am glad to know that someone out there still believes in the higher power, Noone ever prays or mentions God until there is trouble,But we need him in this lost and dying world. We need to get back to the basics of life.Put God first Thanks Governor for keeping the faith.
