Yes, it would seem that a group of people here in the US, specifically San Fransisco, CA. apparently figured out something that neither Bush, Congress, the Senate, Obama, McCain or even other world leaders have failed to do. They found a solution to our high has price problem.
It seems that groups of people in San Fransisco are doing prayer vigils at gas stations asking God to lower gas prices because they believe that at this point only God can help us now. OK? It has even been reported that some people have actually seen results of praying at the pump and watching the gas price go down. Now I don't know about you but I consider sitting in my car as I stop in front of a pump and see the prices for all the fuel choices and find myself saying very lowly "God help us, this is too high" to be a prayer. I, however, don't expect the numbers at the pump to run backwards to a price that will make me wanna cry of happiness. Let's face the facts that nothing less than a $1.00 drop at the pump will satisfy most people with these prices we have today and as much as I believe in God, I just don't see it happening. Besides one would be somewhat aware of such a drop if one listens to at least little bit of news so it would not seem so heavenly if it happened. Now while I would appreciate if God did hear me and the price at the pump dropped 2 or 3 cents or even a dime at the moment I got to the station, but can I truly say it was God's work when this kind of price change can be expected since the price of the barrels goes up and down so often?
And what about the people who are working hard trying to lower the prices at the pump? Should we forget about them and and only thank God for lower gas prices? While I am all for praying to God that a good, long term solution to our current situation can be found before things go from bad to worse, I have to believe this is taking things a bit too extreme. I guess the only thing I can say about these "pray-ins" at these gas stations is that at least someone is trying.
