Just wondering,

as the heart of the 'Bible Belt', Dallas,Texas and surrounding areas, continue to suffer from record heat and drought, despite the fact that Rick Perry, and MANY other Bible thumpers, continue to publically pray for relief. Please help me, as I don't understand this scenario. Logically speaking, there's only a couple of alternatives. 1. There's no god, so it doesn't matter.
2. God's in charge, and he/she wants them to suffer.
Am willing to listen to other alternatives. Please, enlighten me...

Nothing anyone says would convince you that God is in His/Her Heaven and all is as it is. As I've told you before, this is an earth school, where we learn and grow. If bad things happen, we have to learn from them or we don't. We either grow from them or we don't. We're all God's children, believe it or not and we all have an opportunity for redemption...the brass ring is Jesus. He died for the sins of mankind and nailed those old worn out laws on that cross. Take it or leave it.

SOOO, if 'all is as it is', why have public prayers to end a drought? Is god gonna intervene, IF enough righteous people ask?

God does answer prayers, yes, in God's time, not in man's time.
I know to you, that appears to be a cruel and really mean God, but that's the way God works. If we got what we wanted all the time, we certainly wouldn't need God, now would we? And if enough people believe strongly enough and pray, Jesus says WE can say to that mountain MOVE and that mountain WILL move! That's how powerful prayer is. That son, is faith.
Look at how many years the drough in Africa has been going on! Today I read a story of a mother who had to make the choice of leaving her dying son along the side of the rode in order to save her younger daughter on the way to find food and water. Do you thin these people do no pray? This is the world we live in. You can be of the world or rise above it. Your choice.

Just an after thought here. When Jesus walked on this earth, He always spoke of God as Father, except the one time on the Cross When He cried out "My God, why have you forsaken me?" Even though He knew He had a Heavenly home; knew His purpose in the Cross; knew His absolute destiny and who He was, but at that point as He took on the sins of man and the entire sin of the world and felt all that intense anguish engulf His Being, the pain of mortal of Adam, Cain, Mankind, the World of Sin, He felt what no one has ever felt or would ever fell in the history of mankind.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
