Huckabee seeks prayers for rain Tuesday, Jan 10, 2006 Arkansas News Bureau LITTLE ROCK - Short of dancing a jig, Gov. Mike Huckabee signed a proclamation Monday calling on Arkansans to pray for rain to ease a prolonged drought. Huckabee, a Baptist minister, said the lack of rain that has led to wildfires and imperiled local water supplies around the state "serves as a poignant reminder of our complete reliance on God for even the most basic necessities of life." "I, Mike Huckabee, acting under the authority vested in me as governor ..., call upon the people of our state to pray for rain," the proclamation said. What the National Weather Service has described as one of the driest year's on record in 2005 has continued into the new year. Huckabee issued his rain proclamation as the weather service forecast a 40 percent chance of showers over much of the state Tuesday. |
