I Believe God Is Sending A Message To The Republicans and The Religious Right.

On August 12th, 2008 a video producer for Focus on the Family asked people to pray for rain when Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois) makes his speech at the end of the Democratic National Convention in Denver. http://www.focusonthefamily.com/ "Would it be wrong if we asked people to pray for rain?" Stuart Shepard, digital media director for Focus on the Family's "Focus Action," was hoping for sudden, heavy rain at Denver's Invesco Field at Mile High during the speech of a certain presidential nominee on August 28. "Abundant rain," he quipped. "Torrential rain. Urban and small stream flood advisory rain." Well as we know, Barack Obama's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention was seen by more than 38 million people (not including C-Span and PBS)... Nearly 4 million people more than Olympic Opening Ceremonies. AND THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT! Now let's talk about the Republican Convention about to begin next week. About 45,000 participants - including Republican Party delegates as well as visitors and news media professionals - are heading to the twin cities of St. Paul-Minneapolis for next week's nominating convention. During the convention in the central U.S. state of Minnesota, the Republican Party will formally name Senator John McCain as its candidate for president to face Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee in the November election. Although the convention is scheduled to open Monday, party officials say they might delay it if a hurricane strikes New Orleans early next week. In an interview with Fox News Sunday’s Chris Wallace, John McCain said Hurricane Gustav may alter the plans for the Republican Convention due to start on Monday. Hurricane Gustav was Category 4 hurricane as it passed through Cuba and is expected to be a strong Category 5 hurricane as it prepares to hit the United states, much like Katrina, which devastated portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast. Hurricane Gustav, currently moving toward the Gulf of Mexico, may force Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal to skip next week’s Republican Convention. As Hurricane Gustav strengthens and threatens the still recovering Gulf Coast, the White House is reevaluating the president's plans to attend the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn. Now Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, a former chairman of the Republican Party, announced Saturday he will not attend the GOP convention next week because of the threat from Hurricane Gustav. Here is my question to everyone here at myLot. Is God punishing the Republican Party for mixing Politics and Religion? Is God sending a message to the Religious Right that praying for torrential rains and flooding is against God's wills? And why didn't God answer their prayers and now seem to be disrupting the Republican Convention? "Would it be wrong if we asked people to pray for rain?" I think we now know the answer. Lloyd
