First Regular Session, 91st General Assembly
THIRTEENTH DAY, Tuesday, January 23, 2001
Speaker Pro Tem Abel in the Chair.
Prayer by Father David Buescher.
Holy God, You create women and men in such a range of diversity, yet with similarity of the inner needs of the soul. You invite us to cooperate in Your plan to make each human person fit in harmony and prosperity into the social fabric of our nation and state.
We ask Your presence again today here in these rooms in our state Capitol, but even more significantly, in those rooms within the minds and hearts of these legislators. Grant them abundance in continued wisdom and inner direction, God, so that what they do outwardly here may rebound to the peace, joy, and progress of the people You so love and have so blessed. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
