Prayer [still] works

The communities of Lubbock and Rockwell, Texas, recently took their desire for rain to God. After suffering through an extremely dry spring and early summer these communities passed referendums calling on their citizens to pray for rain. In spite of the media taunting, God answered.

Some three and a half inches of rains fell in the town over the Labor Day Weekend alone, overflowing some reservoirs and spillways.

Jody James from the National Weather Service recalled: "We were dealing with red flag warnings, fire danger, and extremely dry conditions earlier in the year."

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."
