We are getting rain in GA as well. It is no longer possible to farm the coastal plain in this state without irrigation unless one uses desert plants such as sorghum. We needed very little irrigation in the 50's and 60's. Un-irrigated corn will fail almost every year. Winter crops such as wheat or rye do well but all the summer crops now have to have irrigation. The weather has changed. I say however it is not comets or misaligned stars or planets, nor is it man made global warming causing this. I believe we can look to our own individual sins against a living God who controls all these things. We as a nation have slapped him in the face and kicked him out of our government and schools. We kill our children and place the dead bodies in garbage cans. We have as a society and as individuals determined that we do not need God (I am talking about the one true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the Father of The Lord Jesus Christ.)! So we go without rain in the growing season and get floods in the off season. I suspect he is laughing at us just about now.
We have water problems in Georgia with a dispute with the states of Alabama and Florida over the water of the Chattahoochee River and regulation of discharge from Lake Lanier in drought conditions. In normal years there is plenty of water for everyone, but in drought years it gets interesting. It looked like the courts, the Corps of Engineers, and the EPA were going to dry up the water supply for much of the north Georgia region and give it all to the minnows and muscles in the Apalachicola. A few years ago the previous governor's answer was to "pray for rain" and he called for a season of prayer and a prayer meeting at the state capitol. Good for him, but the lawyers got into the mix and indicated that he could not specify which god to pray to. (Ellis Arnold, the Georgia governor in the early 50's did this and by praying to the one true Christian God had rain fall on the prayer meeting at the state capitol and the 1954 drought was broken. Political correctness in those days did not include baning God from all of society.) Understand that there is only one true all powerful god. Think about it, if the shotgun prayer were used in this most recent situation, and it was to make sure all the gods were addressed and no one was offended, the one true God could not answer such a prayer without giving credibility to the other gods. The season of prayer was a joke and we still are in drought.

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do.
