Does anyone remember the West Texas towns who prayed for God to sent rain?

Now that's just real funny JT... I have lived in West Texas before, and am recalling the various winters spent there with snow on the ground... lots of snow. (Of course, to qualify it for those who don't remember the snows, it was usually gone before noon the next day or day after that.)

I have also been in the area when dought has been so bad cows died on the highways and prarie fires caused mass exodus, and recently had to take alternate routes home because of those prarie fires (West Texas had reported a record number of them this year before the rain).

And the trite saying you posted about the weather is said everywhere about their weather as well...

Answer 1

I didn't hear about the prayers until I heard about the answers.
.
Whether the rain came because God supernaturally "twiddled" with the weather or whether the rain came because it time in the natural weather cycle for the drought to be replaced by moisture, God deserves thanks and praise for the rain.

He even deserves it for drought. 1 Thess. 5:18 "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." No matter what Mark Twain says.

Answer 2

We have a saying in Texas, "If you don't like the weather, just wait, it will change."

Prayer had less to do with the sudden downpour than the fact Lubbock is in Texas where we have all three seasons every week. (we don't have winter in Texas, just spring, summer & fall)
