The Problem With Jennie's Prayers

[Thumper]

I think I've got this prayer thingy figured out. It ISN'T Jennie's prayer that is doing all the snow/cold/flood damage. Not on its own. She is a good girl and all that, but she doesn't have that much power.

Here is the real problem. When thousands of Ifishers read her prayer, the Big Guy (Gal?) hears the reading, just plain old reading mind you, of thousands of people and interprets the reading as thousands of prayers. :shocked: Powerful stuff.

So from now on when you see any topic posted by Jennie that pertains to weather, especially snowy weather, please do not read that post. Leave it alone. Please. Let's not confuse God.

I thank you and the people of the Pacific Northwest thank you. [img]graemlins/program.gif[/img]

Dear God,

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
and the snow is so delightful!

So, since we've no place to go----

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!!

Amen!

Jen

PS, Cuz, God? If I pray for warm weather, it will flood, and that, too, will be my fault.

I was thinking of your prayers as I crawled under my house with a blow dryer to work on some frozen water pipes. [img]graemlins/eek13.gif[/img]

Oh no! I just read this! Outloud! :blush:

Jennie, I share your guilt and will do penance. I'll take BOE fishing. [img]graemlins/1zhelp.gif[/img]

See. She did it again! Now we are in trouble.

[Jennie@ifish]

Praise the Lord, Most High on the snowy slopes of Oregon!

Gosh, to listen to Pilar, you'd think it was all MY fault!

Thanks Jennie! I'm now absolved!

It was nice.....and now I've had enough. Round five is here now and I still have remnants of round one.

Good thing I only work a 1/2 mile from home.

I'm really concerned about the flooding possability. All that hard work putting in the new lawns will be for nothing if the river spills over its banks.

That too, is an answer to a prayer, Fishplay. If your lawn survives, you'll have to mow it! And mow it, and mow it.... Think about what you're doing, man.

I've been getting some STRANGE e mails!

Look at this one:

Dear Ms Martin


I'm deeply concerned.


I heard rumors today that you're secretly building an ark out there in the timber near the Kilchis River. My informant said you had received information the water would soon get high enough to float the ark on down to the Pacific. My informant was uncertain as to the exact source of your information.


Your recent Internet activities reveal you've been spending a lot of time lately discussing weather with higher powers. Is there any truth to these reports? My sources tell me you've even contacted area veterinarians with regard to mates for a dog and cat that were among the first animals to be placed on board the boat you're building.


It's particularly disturbing to me because I'm certain you'll recall my recent pleas that you refrain from seeking the help of the Almighty in blanketing the entire region with snow and ice. I'm totally ware of your success in this regard. Are you secretly doing the same thing where rain and melting snow are concerned?


An early reply would be appreciated. In event it's not forthcoming, I plan to report your recent activities to the proper authorities.


Respectfully yours.
