Thanks to Tyson (one of my kids) for pointing me to this Washington Post article yesterday:
Religious broadcaster Pat Robertson prayed on his Christian Broadcasting Network, based in Virginia Beach, that Isabel would turn from the coast. He asked God to put a “wall of protection” around Virginia Beach and the East Coast. “In the name of Jesus, we reach out our hand in faith and we command that storm to cease its forward motion to the north and to turn and to go out into the sea,” Robertson prayed on “The 700 Club.”
My prediction: no matter what the storm does, he and many other like-minded ministers, will “thank God that the storm didn’t do more damage” or that “no lives were lost” or that “more lives weren’t lost.”
