Texas Towns, Ridiculed for Praying for Rain, Have Prayers Answered
WND Staff/TN (Sep 5, 2006)
Now another Texas town considers passing a resolution to pray for rain.
The drought-stricken cities of Lubbock and Rockwall, Texas, drew national attention last week when they called for city resolutions calling for prayer for rain. According to a report in WorldNetDaily, "There was some snickering in certain parts of the country" when city officials did so.
Within seven days of the Lubbock vote, notes the report, the rains started. And they haven't stopped.
Flooding in Lubbock, Texas Without mentioning the prayer requests, Channel 11 KCBD reported: "Looking outside, you'd never guess a month ago that Lubbock was described as parched, and in serious drought conditions."
As a result of the "answer to prayer," another Texas town -- Aledo -- is reportedly considering a similar resolution for prayer.
The article also stated that it was not the first time prayers for rain in Lubbock have been answered. In January 2004, after a year of drought, the city and county set aside a Sunday to pray for rain, and got the second-wettest year since records have been kept.
