Journal of the House
Second Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly
TWELFTH DAY, Wednesday, January 28, 2004
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Pro Tem Jetton in the Chair.
Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.
Heavenly Father, in Your Word, You have said, "I have directed you in the way of wisdom, I have led you in
upright places." So we take hold of Your instruction, guarding it in our hearts, for it is our life.
May our heart's purpose remain clear, our eyes fixed on what is true, honorable, and right and may we not
mistake excitement for growth or sentimental feelings for true commitment to our vocation.
So, with Your help, we enter this day with no doubt of our abilities, no fear of making decisions that affect us
all, and with patient expectation of the appropriate outcome.
Now may the grace of our Lord and the love of God be with us all.
In Your Son's name we pray. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without

The Journal of the eleventh day was approved as corrected.
