 :(  :'( Yes we need rain in Texas.

Dear Lord I join in prayer with all our farmers needing rain for their crops and lakes. Please send Texas some rain. Amen.

I will definitely keep Texas in my prayers! I will pray that their drought will come to an end with ever lasting rain that lasts for 2 days! Heavenly father, please open up your sky and fill this land with your loving rainfalls. I pray in Jesus' name, thanks be to GOD! Amen!   :angel11:

I live in Texas and we finally received some much needed rainfall - 6 inches - over the Memorial Day holiday.  It's not a drought breaker but it is a welcome relief.  So for now, thankfully, our prayers have been answered.

Yes we are in drought.. It will take a bibilical 40 days and 40 nights of rain to bring our lakes back to where they need to be.. What's even funnier is when people complain round here complain when it rain's when we barely get it.. I love rain i'm looking forward to the forcast of showers It gives the yard a good ol much needed drink of water and the roses too! I wish i had the ability to make rain it  i would make it rain everyday but not to much were i flood everyone out LOL that wouldn't be good :3

Texas is as bad off as my state of california when it comes to rain. Rivers & lakes all drying up & alot of empty farmers fields in central california just sitting there collecting dust. It doesn't need to rain for 40 days and 40 nights to get out of it lol. It just constant steady rainfall every year for a few years would do that but it has to be constant not inconsistent or it wont work

There been a few documented cases of Indian rain dances actually working but there's no proof if they actually caused it to rain or not but before that the places usually had no rain for quite a while so who really knows what's going on there. Some things you just can't explain

But you actually CAN explain why it does or doesn't rain though.

  It is really a bad situation in California and Texas.  I hate seeing them pull up citrus trees because they cannot come back from the drought.  I sure hope this is really as they keep saying an El Nino year is on its way, that would do a lot toward relieving the  lack of water.

Rain is needed in lots of places in the country.  Drought is never a good thing for anyone to go through

This is not true.  Just because you want something and you believe you will get it and you pray for it does not mean God will give it to you.

We need rain where I am too.  I am having to manually water my garden every evening or every other evening.  A lot of it looks like it is going to die.

LOL what are you talking about darlin? I never mentioned God.. I was actually only telling a story that actually did happen. It was meant as a Ha Ha moment you know? Like a joke... Not to be taken literally... Besides i do agree with you.. Just because you ask for something and you recieve it Doesn't mean it came from God.. I never really understood the whole blame everything bad that happens on the devil and everything Good that happens on God because by all means we don't need to be responsible for our own actions..Not if we can blame them on other Mysterious beings..

That sounds terrible. I sure hope Texas gets some rain soon. A drought can be such an awful thing. Here's hoping the rain starts going, but not too much at a time :D

I know! The Flood.. but i think it just might take that much because we haven't seen good rain in years we ususally see sprinkles and spits of rain.. Our lakes look like its a desert >.> You can't really take the boats because you will be boating on dirt and rocks although you know i have always wanted to see the bottom of a lake.. Always wondered what it would  look like..NOW I KNOW XD wewt!
