Two Farmers Two farmers are praying for rain during a drought. Besides praying, the one farmer is tuning up his machinery, prepping his seeds, and has even plowed his fields. The other farmer is simply praying and waiting. Will things be different for these two farmers when the rains come? What we want is our […]
