MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — With parts of Alabama suffering an exceptional drought, Gov. Bob Riley is turning to God for help and asking other Alabamians to join him in praying for rain.

Riley issued a proclamation Thursday declaring June 30 through July 7 as "Days of Prayer for Rain" and asked citizens to pray individually and in their houses of worship.

"Throughout our history, Alabamians have turned in prayer to God to humbly ask for His blessings and to hold us steady in times of difficulty. This drought is without question a time of great difficulty for our farmers and for communities across our state," Riley said in a statement.

How cool is this!

My dear brothers and sisters living in the south;
when many of my fellow yankees make jokes about how backwards some southern bumpkin in the alabama governer's office is, just remember how silly it is when your 2-year old tells you "I'm not going!!"....just laugh off our ignorance.

btw,
Is Alabama where the judge got removed from office for displaying the 10 commandments?
If so, Alabama just may be heaping up some good things in a memorial before God.

Yes and how much did our Governor to do to back up Judge Roy Moore ?

Maybe your gov is seeing the light.
Possibly public (national) opinion sidelined him on one issue that he is now feeling all the more convicted by and is compelling him acknowledge God in all his ways.

Bro, asking people to pray for God to intervene in the need of the State ain't happening where I live.

The Gov. has done alot of good and this is a good thing.

They can have some of our rain if they need it so bad...

Send us some Texas rain ,we'll take it.

Brother,

I live in the buckle of the Bible Belt, Selma, Alabama.

Last night on the phone with a Filipino trying to hook up DSL,
I asked him if I was the first idiot he'd had to coach that day (other side of the day, he is).

He said, "I mostly speak with Southerners and I like them. They are very kind. They are Christian."

I Love the South!

I'm Yankee by birth and will be in New England in a few weeks. I'm already homesick and I haven't even left!
