Rocky Twyman, a community organizer from Rockville, formed a semicircle with seven others, held hands and sang, pleading for divine intervention to lower fuel prices.

You betta pray, bitch!

The price of regular at a Shell gas station in Petworth was $3.91 a gallon. Rocky Twyman and company had a plan to bring that number tumbling down. They would ask God to do it.

“Our pockets are empty, but we’re going to hold on to God!” said Twyman, who started a movement last April called Pray at the Pump. Since then, he has held group prayers at gas stations as far away as San Francisco.

“This whole thing is a wake-up call from God to Americans, because we idolize men so much,” said Twyman, 59, a public relations consultant and Seventh-day Adventist who believes that high gas prices are a sign of the apocalypse drawing nigh. “I think through this crisis, God is trying to call us back to depend on Him more.”

For the past several weeks, Twyman has assembled a group at a soup kitchen in the Petworth neighborhood of Northwest Washington. They have driven to a gas station, said a prayer, purchased gas and sung the civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome,” with an added verse: “We’ll have lower gas prices.”

OddCulture suggests that Twyman and his congregation travel to Europe. Prices are $10 a gallon in Norway. They are needed terribly!! Oh, and by the way, maybe put in a good word for the starving people in Africa or the homeless in India. Well, if you guys happen to remember - no biggie.

Oh, here’s Moses in front of the Shell station. It comes from Upright Alice. We hope they don’t mind.
