First Regular Session, 91st General Assembly
EIGHTH DAY, Monday, January 15, 2001
Speaker Kreider in the Chair.
Prayer by Ralph Robinette, Sergeant at Arms.
The Psalmist wrote in Psalm 139:
"Search me O' God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me and lead me in the way everlasting".
Today we honor a man who had searched his heart and had no offensive way in it. As America honors Martin Luther King, Jr., a loving and caring man who worked for peace and harmony among all people, we ask that the Holy Spirit fill our hearts with those Christian virtues that we may individually and collectively carry on the work of Dr. King.
In Your name we pray, Holy Father. 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 compensation: Autumn Shurley, Jared Shurley, Grant Shurley, Malia Koons and Charles Koons.
