God-given gas?
Earlier this year, we told you about the “Pray at the Pump” movement, which brought prayer vigils to local gas stations, so as to petition the Almighty to bring fuel prices down. Well, now that gas has crept below $2 per gallon again, this past Wednesday and Thursday, founder Rocky Twyman and his comrades gathered again to proclaim their effort a success.
On Wednesday afternoon, they congregated at the Shell station at the corner of Upshur Street and Georgia Avenue, then again on Thanksgiving Day at the Shell on Montgomery Village Avenue in Gaithersburg. Their purpose? According to a release, it was to “thank God … for answering their prayer during this holiday season.”
That’s not all: The group is attempting to build on the movement’s success by beginning a “Pray Down the Greed on Wall Street” movement to help solve the economic crisis.
They’ve also applied to march in the upcoming inaugural parade, with Twyman saying he hopes that their success will inspire the Obama administration to use their techniques.
