POSTED: Friday, August 21, 2009
ORLANDO, Fla. -- Could it be divine intervention that's kept Florida safe from hurricanes since Gov. Charlie Crist took office?Crist said he's not taking credit, but did tell a group of real estate agents Friday that he's had prayer notes put in the Western Wall in Jerusalem each year and no major storms have hit Florida.Crist said each of the notes read, "Dear God, please protect our Florida from storms and other difficulties. Charlie."The first time he personally put the note in during a 2007 trade mission to Israel. Last year, he gave the note to Sen. Nan Rich to be placed in the wall. This year he gave a note to a friend.He told the group, "Knock on wood. I would ask you all to say a prayer."
