Thoughts and Prayers

The devastating floods in Texas have spawned so many questions and not many answers. Did DOGE's cuts at the national weather service contribute to the tragedy? Does anyone rational believe Dear Leader's suggestion that somehow this was Biden's fault? What about MTG's belief that nefarious players are controlling the weather?

Something that leaped out at me was those folks who asserted that prayer was responsible for saving the little girls who survived.

What about those who didn't--despite all the hopes and prayers?  What kind of god would play favorites like that? 

Any loss of life is tragic--but the pictures of those little girls--just Josie's age--break my heart. And I think of the grieving parents, wondering why their prayers weren't heard.
