You may remember Jacobs from last year, when she tried to start something called "Light the Highway," which encouraged fringe charismatics and pentecostals to pray over their highways. It started when she read Isaiah 35:8, which talks about a "highway of holiness." She started an effort among churches up and down I-35 to pray over that area. I-35 runs from Laredo to Duluth and runs through Austin, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Kansas City, Des Moines and the Twin Cities. She then tried to get it to roll national--but unfortunately, that turned out to be a massive fail. How so? Well, one would think that somewhere down the line, she'd have managed to get people along I-85 and I-40 in my neck of the woods to pray--but nothing of the sort happened. And if they did, it didn't do much good considering North Carolina and Virginia went blue. That effort is better remembered, however, for a Dallas man who was briefly pulled into the ex-gay boondoggle--and got talked into going off his meds for bipolar disorder. To give you another taste about what this woman is all about, here's a "word from the Lord" she got the 2006 elections:
