A rainy night in Georgia (they wish)
North Carolina's misery has company.
Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue led a prayer for rain Tuesday in that similarly drought-parched state, reports the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Couldn't hurt. In fact, it's been done here before.
But Perdue and an Atlanta minister also conceded, in the prayer, that Georgians still weren't doing all that they could do to conserve water.
Said the Rev. Gil Watson, pastor of Northside United Methodist Church:
“We have not been good stewards of our land. We have not been good stewards of our water.”
Perdue added: “We acknowledge our wastefulness. We acknowledge that we haven’t done the things we need to do. Father, forgive us and lead us to honor you as you honor us with the showers of blessing.”
And shower us with the willingness and ability to use the common sense you presumably gave us all at birth, Dear Lord.

Gee, WE really do have religious politicians!!!
The same ones that pass legislation that causes
global warming. The same ones that tears down our green space for "e-c-o-n-o-m-i-c development"
and pollutes our waterways.
Why don't we pray for guidance with our legislative bodies, to insure that we protect what
He has blessed us with. Rather, being condascending in words that makes them hypocritical.
