Praying for rain. Does it work?
File this in the "Be careful what you wish for" category. Seems all that rain in Florida caused a John McCain fundraiser to be cancelled. :rofl:

Okay DUers, fess up. Someone's been praying and their prayers have been answered. :thumbsup: Take that Focus on the Family!


<<(08-17) 18:37 PDT Winter Park, Fla. (AP) --

John McCain on Sunday was briefed on Tropical Storm Fay, which scuttled a political fundraiser and is threatening to reach Florida as soon as Monday.>>

1. There is a saying that I believe is credited to Sanskrit:

Be careful for which you wish, for your wish shall be granted. It's kind of in the tradition of "The Monkey's Paw".

2. From what I understand...
you shouldn't really wish bad on anyone else, or it could come back to you if you are not pure of heart. Someone who is pure of heart would not wish anything bad on anyone, so there's that.

3. Oh, I don't wish bad on anyone
especially the people of Florida. I just thought it was a bit ironic that after Focus on the Family puts out a call to pray for rain to disrupt Obama's speech a whole bunch of rain disrupts a McCain fundraiser.
