Apparently, God wants Barack Obama to be President.

On July 30, Stuart Shepard of Focus on the Family posted a video on their website prompting Christians all over America to pray for rain to disrupt Senator Obama's acceptance speech tonight at Invesco Field.

In the video, Shepard called for Christians to pray for "abundant, torrential" rains during the Democratic nominee's acceptance speech in order to disrupt it. He had asked Christians to pray for rain that would create flash flood warnings and "swamp the intersections." In the video, Shepard said he hoped the rain would start "two minutes before the acceptance speech begins."

Naturally, this prompted thousands of people, many of them members of Focus on the Family, to request they pull this ad from their website, which they finally did on August 12. However, this was reported widely, both at the national and local level, and hundreds, possibly thousands of Christians were ardently praying for "abundant rain, torrential rain. Urban and small stream flood advisory rain" to ruin Obama's acceptance speech.

Well, God heard these prayers as he hears all prayers, and instead of a rain of biblical proportions, He decided that today would be the best day possible, with mild temperatures and the only cloudless sky in the week.

So apparently, God has spoken, and He's endorsed Obama.
