And the thing is, if it ever rains in your area again, ever, even so much as a drizzle, ever, all the Christians will shout, "Hallelujah! Our God answers prayer!"

it was a dried out drought, that deconverted Bill Grahams best friend Charles Templeton!! 
I love his story of how he was standing under a dead tree in a far off land that was starving to death. He was there to preach the gospel!! He looked up to heavens and said to god, ''All you would have to do is send rain''....... It was the beginning of the end for him.......

93% of the mass in our body is stardust. Just think.....long ago someone may have wished upon a star that you are made of.
God may not work.....but you could try wishing upon a star!

Right. Either he's a total dick, or he's not there Rev. Margee.
Shouldn't be too hard for a storm god.

It's obvious that Charles Templeton didn't pray enough, then. He probably also didn't read the Bible enough, either. Or, there may have been one person in the nation he went to that didn't believe, forcing God to say, "Nope. Not gonna do it. There's one guy down there that doesn't believe in me, so the rest of y'all are fucked. Just find the one dipshit and tell him to believe, and I'll poor so much rain on you that you'll think it's the Flood all over again. Okay, so maybe that's a bit of a cruel thing to say. Sorry."

We've been in a "drought" for probably 8 of the 10 years that I've been in Kansas. I think people just want something to bitch about.
It's been over 100 every day for a couple weeks now, with little relief in sight. It's a bit of a cold snap today as the temp is only predicted to hit 98- but we'll be right back up there soon enough.
My law isn't dead yet, but hopefully it will be soon. It's about time to mow again. I'm going to set the deck as low at it will go, and mow that lawn down to the bare dirt. That usually kills it, then I don't have to mow for the rest of the year.

Speaking of weather in England: a guy I knew once visited there, and he saw on TV that the forecast for the day was "Bright." He thought this meant is was supposed to be sunny. Turns out, "Bright" in England just means that the overcast is thinner than usual.

It's times like this that make me jealous of California for never being above 90 degrees in the summer.
I don't know about you guys and gals, but it's severe weather season in Virginia. We just had two days in a row of severe storms. Then, there's no water left on the ground the next day and you don't even know there was a storm. Then it's back to 102 degrees. So yeah, droughts don't last long for us this time of year.

I was so fortunete to talk to this man 4 times on the telephone before he died. Inside my autographed book, (Farewell To God) he wrote....Let love be the only commandment. He sent it to me as a x-mas present. He told me stories of him and billy graham being best friends. He was an awesome man to talk to...I would recommend his book to anyone if they need 'simplicity', cause that's how he writes. Here's Chuck' and Billy back in their young days.........huge crusades they did together!!
