Remember how Focus on the Family parishioners were called to pray for torrential rains to disrupt the Democratic convention? Well, sometimes you get what you pray for only for the wrong convention. Seems God has chosen to rain on the GOP parade and Bush and Cheney might not even speak, (like that’s a loss). The religious right must watch what they ask for, it seems God is a bit tone deaf these days with all the clamoring for his attention.
While the religiously impaired pray for selfish things such as flooding, why don’t we all pray for peace, pray to heal a nation torn apart, pray for all those recent victims of flooding in India and other areas and for the victims of Gustav to come. I would think if you are going to pray, how about leaving destructive forces out of the mix…

Maybe God is blessing the GOP convention. I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking, “if only Bush and Cheney didn’t have to show their face at the convention to remind Republicans of all they want to forget.” Shazam! Bush and Cheney aren’t speaking. You’ve got to count that as a plus if you are a Republican.
