La., Texas declare day of prayer for Gulf spill

Pray, pray, and pray some more; pray until the end of time. No doubt the same God that “allowed” the oil platform to blow up, killing hard-working, innocent men and spilling millions upon millions of gallons of oil into the sea (supposedly his creation) will listen to your prayers weeks after the fact. I say weeks after the fact because your all-knowing, all-good, all-powerful God did nothing to prevent it.

I know, I know, God works in mysterious ways. There is nothing like ignorance and superstition; it is the worst of man’s weaknesses. TGO

BATON ROUGE, La. – The governors of Louisiana and Texas say Sunday will be a day to pray about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal issued a proclamation declaring a day of prayer for perseverance in coping with the environmental crisis caused by the spill.

In Texas, Gov. Rick Perry is urging Texans to pray for the healing of individuals, the rebuilding of communities and the restoration of entire Gulf coast environment.

Experts say the current worst-case estimate of what’s spewing into the Gulf is about 2.5 million gallons a day from the blown well, polluting shorelines from Louisiana to Florida.
