Can one pray mayors away?
Can we pray MS away?
If by āprayā he means get down on your knees and spew a bunch of crap out of your mouth, it just might workā¦you know, if youāre right next to a pothole at the timeā¦
If it works, this guy needs to move further north ā¦ Queens would be great.
āNow the last thing I wanted was to get in a fight
in Jackson, Mississippi on a Saturday night,
'specially when there was three of them and only one of me.ā
Iām beginning to understand why Charlie Daniels referred to Jackson specifically in that song.
I finally hit the boiling point yesterday with someone telling me that theyād pray for me since Iām a lost soul or whatever.
Iāve decided Iām going to start asking people to go do something effective like feed the poor or shelter the homeless in lieu of whispering some words to their imaginary friend on my behalf. But who wants to do something difficult to seem righteous?
I was out in a small town over the holidays and went to grab a coffee. While I was there, a woman paid for my coffee and told me āMerry Christmas, enjoy His blessings!ā
I canāt deny that not spending my two bucks on a coffee wasnāt nice, but blowing āHis blessingsā on a middle-class lady buying a coffee seems like a waste. I donated the two bucks to a food drive at the grocery store that was my next stop, so allās well that ends well, I guess? Iāll pray for you, enjoy a coffee on Godās dime, etc. ā¦ none of it has anything to do with making the world a better place. Itās all about establishing a certain standing in the community.
God helps those who help themselves.
Yes, it is like seat belts. Gods tend to save those who wear them.

Iāmā¦just guessingā¦that this may be delusional theist code for āThe Jackson Municipal Government certainly isnāt going to be fixing the pothole problemā.
They guy is a pastor at Relevant Empowerment Church who became a mayor. Oh yeah, he also claims to be a black belt ninja.
This would be much funnier if he wasnāt the mayor of the 138th largest city in the U.S.
Oh, praying can eliminate potholes ā¦ if youāre blessing the asphalt and fillers that you just poured into the hole, asking for it to have the fortitude to resist the forces that would erode the new material away.
But praying alone is cheaper, so ā¦
Wonder if heāll change his beliefs once the insurance claims start rolling in. Idiot.
Itās Mississippi. Pretty much a standard dysfunctional ādeveloping nationā, except that they get to send representatives to the US Congress and donāt need visas to cross the border.
Potholes. Gayness. Acne. Thinning hair. Socialism. Debt. Weather. Godless liberals. Weeds. Lousy poker hands. Mosquitosā¦
If it works for one, it should work for any.
As a politician, Iām sure heās all about helping himself.
Iāve been trying to pray away the stupid people for a couple of decades. Dog says ānoā.
Now, if they were gay potholesā¦
āIāll pray for you.ā
āYeah, well Iāll sacrifice a goat for youā
