Atlanta... Praise God for Rain.

[seedspreader]

Glad to hear y'all are getting rain. I know you still need a lot more. But I praise the Lord for what you've received.

We got so much here the yard flooded and it pooled into the neighbor's field. The geese loved it lol!

I was just telling DH today, there has been so much publicity about the drought in Atlanta and now that there's been rain there, the press says nothing. I think it should be publicized how blessed Atlanta has been. I'm not speaking of so many individuals that are very thankful for the rain. This is just like the press. They only tell the bad.

If God is responsible for the rain, why did he cause it to be so dry in the first place?

Note: At least 5 times the rain that has fallen the last few weeks will be needed before summer to break the Georgia drought but during a normal winter and spring (normal for the last cnetury) that much rain and more falls on the watershed of Lake Laneir.

Sorry I should have noted (in case it wasn't obvious) that this was for believers...

Start your own thread if you want to debate whether God controls the weather.

Amen!

Judge not. I have beliefs as well although my beliefs may not fully coincide with others.

This creation was set in motion and the climate is largely the result of the created processes in motion. While miraculous intervention might occur at anytiime, it does not seem so common as to be inherit in every rain shower nor in every drought.

I wonder if they'll return to their old ways.... or finally develop some serious conservation plans... and discourage the watering of lawns...

after our major drought, in 97, Texas developed a plan for building ~dozen new reservoirs... and lots of non basin transfer laws... however, it started raining again the next year, and not a single reservoir has broken ground.

Myself, my well went dry, my ponds almost went dry... I saved up and built a large reservoir... I learnt my lesson...
