"I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: "O Lord make my enemies ridiculous." And God granted it." -- Voltaire
A video producer for Focus on the Family is asking people to pray for rain when Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois) makes his speech at the end of the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
Obama is giving his acceptance speech outdoor at Invesco Field at Mile High on Thursday, Aug. 28.
Stuart Shepard made the prayer request in his latest Internet video for the evangelical Christian group.
He says he's only partly joking.
"Sure it's boyish humor perhaps to wish for something like that, but at the same time it's something people feel very strongly about. They're concerned about where he would take the nation," said Shepard.
Ah... religion.
so dull it kills
you stifle me
infectious sense of hopelessness and prayers for rain
i suffocate, i breathe in dirt
and nowhere shines but desolate and drab
the hours all spent on killing time again
all waiting for the rain
Ah... The Cure.
