Better just get down on ONE knee —- once it starts, it may not stop.
From drought to flood — seen it all my life. It is called weather.
about four or five years ago in Alberta there was a drought , the “expects” said the aquafers were so low they would “never” recover.
when “never” arrived about two years later in june they were full in a month and flooding .
there is just no pleasing the experts and the msm that feeds on them. generally I find when CBCpravda or any of them interview an expert , they are usually an ex rather than a pert , a retired old professor of nothing looking to top up his meagre pension cheque. dr. bono suzuki would be an example.
I was raised in Southern Saskatchewan. Sometimes things got so dry, we had fish that were five years old and they still hadn’t learned how to swim!! As for prayer, it won’t make it rain, but it may help you survive the drought.
Now folks, all together, let us spray…..

I bet they’re “praying” the grand canal scheme wasn’t abandoned by Klinton. 😉
As a regular reader of SDA who’s lived in Atlanta for 9 years… We’ve had drought conditions for 4 or 5 years. Many churches (including my own) are regularly praying for rain. The governor says there’s 2 months left in the reserviors. The army corps of engineers say there’s 9 months left in the reservoirs. Either way 9 months isn’t long enough to build whatever we’d need to build as an alternative to the reservoirs. Unless we get lots of rain over a long period of time there’s going to be some pain in Atlanta. We need ~4 years of regular rainfall to get the waterlevel in the reservoirs back to normal.
“…and they still hadn’t learned how to swim!!”
I thought I’d heard ’em all! Thank you, Mr. Jesus.
David,
Things tend to regress to the mean. I suspect that when the rain starts it wont be as normal rainfall…..forget the names of the Monk that discovered the regression to the mean thing….something to do with bean plants.
Here’s hoping you get your rainfall soon.
Although it hasn’t affected household water use (outside of limiting garden use), we’ve certainly seen our share of severe drought in this neck of the prairies, so I can certainly sympathize.
the liberal anthem just popped into my head. from the beatles.
If the rain comes they run and hide their heads.
They might as well be dead.
If the rain comes, if the rain comes.
When the sun shines they slip into the shade
(When the sun shines down.)
And sip their lemonade.
(When the sun shines down.)
When the sun shines, when the sun shines.
Rain, I don’t mind.
Shine, the weather’s fine.
I can show you that when it starts to rain,
(When the Rain comes down.)
Everything’s the same.
(When the Rain comes down.)
I can show you, I can show you.
Rain, I don’t mind.
Shine, the weather’s fine.
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines,
(When it Rains and shines.)
It’s just a state of mind?

Hopfuly the ACLU wont get wind of this or they will file another one of their idiotic lawsuits
Fantastic headline, Kate, and brilliant juxtaposition of the two AP headlines. Brilliant.
Silly Georgians, Don’t they know they are supposed to offer sacrifices of conservatives and money to Al Gore, god of hot air?
Another case of the media Dumbing-Down the news;
When suffering a drought — prayer helps, rain doesn’t.
“Because It’s The Last Thing You Need In A Drought”
I assume here you are referring to people sooo naive and primitive as to be relying on a mythical superbeing who supposedly lives in the sky for help.
“Georgia gets rain, but it may not help”
See?
Seriously, I do beleive in a Higher Power, and I do pray. My favorite “Rain” song is “Lizzie and the Rainman” by Tanya Tucker. Tanya was born in in Seminole Texas, she grew up in Arizona. I’m sure she understands the stress associated with drought. God Bless our American neighbours.
PS: look up the lyrics to Tanya’s song on the net!!
Before the usual suspects get on about church & state and prayer, I’d just like to say that if it works, Great and if not then at least you did more than sit around and blame Bush. I can’t state for sure that prayer works but I’d rather error on the side of caution. Amen, and pass the ammunition.
Hey, Tex, that’s the “precautionary principle”(tm).
The warmists have been pushing that for years to get us Canadians to stop heating our houses.
This makes GA a laughing stock the butt of Leno jokes. Sorry but thats how it is. annd it’s getting a bit scary. Some twit above compares Alberta and Ga. Go check your population and industry stats dude. It’s this sort of stuff that makes Republicans look stupid.
your right, water usage alberta 793 million gallons/day, georgia 20 million gallons /day. my mistake.

The issue is very real and very significant, with about one-quarter of the US land area currently in a drought condition. Oddly, there seems to be a certain degree of correlation with population density…
Tenebris: ” … about one-quarter of the US land area currently in a drought condition.”
What about the other 3/4? Who decides what a drought, and on what basis?
We, in BC, just suffered the the worse flood that never happened in our history. We sandbag up lawns that can’t be watered.
the drought in Alberta was serious nobody died but the hot springs in Banff were running hot water heater water instead hot spring water from the ground because the ground was dry of spring water…but it came back. It will always come back. hang in there Georgia, pray, pay carbon credits or just hang in there, Mother Nature will prevail no matter what you do
Sure beats sacificing virgins like the enviromentalists wackos would want us to do
Now AL GORE and the wackos from GREENPEACE will kneel around a tree and go OOOMMM OOOMMM OOOMMM urging their deity gaia to send rain since their far out in the feild of wackys
