To Pray For Rain, Build A Pond &
Get Rid Of The Witch Doctor

People, water is every country’s greatest natural treasure, I say – no, people are not resources; they’re more – but we take water for granted until there’s a drought, we take people for granted until we know they’re not coming back. That’s when we lose not only the water, not only our loved ones but also our reason. We pray.

Governor Sonny Perdue, Pastor Maurice Watson and others prayed for rain on the steps of the Capitol of Georgia, the US of A on November 13; I wrote about it (‘Elementary, Pastor Watson. Georgia Prays For Rain …’ (americanchronicle.com), but I couldn’t stay around for God’s answer – I was thousands of miles away. Anyway, it would have been anticlimactic.

A little or no rain afterwards, I would not have been surprised. Even Lucian Lamar Sneed, Chair of the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee (Indians) and a Methodist said (Bo Emerson, November 13, ajc.com), ‘God’s not impressed by rain dances. He’s impressed by the sincerity of the prayer.’
