Gas price falls during prayer at the pump

[depakid]

Vigil takes place a day after news of record Exxon profits

When the prayer vigil started at 4 p.m. Friday at the corner of Madison Boulevard and Shelton Road, a gallon of Texaco unleaded gas cost $3.92, as it had for a few days.

But even before the praying stopped, the price dropped three cents.

"Prayer works fast," said Rocky Twyman, a 59-year-old public relations consultant from Maryland who has organized Pray at the Pumps vigils in eight cities across the country.

At one time during the half-hour event, 18 people were holding hands, praying and singing, doing what their faith recommends. They were asking God to fill their needs.

Dustin Durain, 21, was at the Madison Quick Stop Texaco when the praying was about to start. When asked to join the group, he said he didn't have the time, but as he showed Twyman his multiple tattoos of Jesus and the crucifix, he said he was with them in spirit.

"As Christians, we need to do what we can do, and what we can do is pray," said the Athens man who manufactures Mercedes parts.

2. They should just put water in their tanks and pray for it to turn to gasoline. n/t

3. Yeah Pray to Santa Jesus God and you will get your brand new bright red

gold plaited Mercedes with a bow pink bow on it. To bad neither Santa, Jesus or God actually provide a thing, mostly its pure dumb blind luck or a human hand behind what we get. Far as Gas prices falling well hell oil companies are manipulating the prices and the closer we get to election the lower the prices will fall, once elections are over 1 of 2 things will happen, if McShit gets in record profits for oil companies again, if Obama gets in lower prices to get more driving to make up for the taxes oil companies will be hit with. Life is a paradox, what makes sense doesn't always mean the out come will be what sense says it should be.

4. As an atheist, I guess I'm stuck with trying to drive less.

Rats.
