They're Praying for Lower Gas Prices


According to a story on the right-wing Christian news web site, OneNewsNow:

The "Pray at the Pump" movement is spreading around the country, showing up in St. Louis this week after visits to Washington, DC, Toledo, and San Francisco.

Maryland resident Rocky Twyman launched the movement, taking groups to gas station pumps and praying for lower prices. Even foreign media, including television reporters from Iran and Saudi Arabia, have covered it. "First of all, they say the story is so very American because they say only Americans would put God into a political issue like this," he relates.

"It's really fun, you know -- it's a fun event," Twyman continues. "I mean, we have had some incidences where...the management has thrown us out, but we just shake off the dust on our feet and go to another station."

I'll bet the Saudis and Iranians love to see that on their TV's.

I wish they'd pray for a hydrogen breakthrough, though.
