James, they must have gotten that "tradition" from the Carman song, "Abundance of Rain". I remember when I was going to the local big Pennycostal Church (that's how they said it, I guess apropos since that is what their "spirituality" is worth compared to that Pearl of Great Price of the Holy Fathers), but as I was saying, one of the teens in the group did a song and dance for all of us as a "ministry music special" to that song and he actually used a spray bottle and prayed it above his own head and on some of the guys in the "audience". If we ever could get to heaven by "virtue" of our entertainment factor, I guess, who could deny the Pentecostals entrance?!
