Back in July I had a post about the folks in Lubbock, TX who decided to
hold a day of prayer for rain in the hopes of breaking a terrible drought. Here's the update:
There was some snickering in certain parts of the country when city officials in the drought-stricken West Texas towns of Lubbock and Rockwall took their case for rain to God in the form of resolutions calling for prayer.
While the votes made national news – sometimes in the "quirky" sections of big-city dailies and news services – the results didn't, until now.
Within seven days of the Lubbock vote, the rains started. And they haven't stopped.
Some three and a half inches of rains fell in the town over the Labor Day Weekend alone, overflowing some reservoirs and spillways.
Grateful citizens sacrificed an SUV to the rain gods.
