First Regular Session, 91st General Assembly
TWENTIETH DAY, Monday, February 5, 2001
Speaker Kreider in the Chair.
Prayer by Father David Buescher.
Lord, I ask these representatives to think for a moment of their constituents back in their home districts. Those men and women, in their villages, towns, cities and counties, chose these good people as their best hope here in the legislature.
Lord, give these chosen men and women knowledge of how to preserve those traditions worth saving, and how to change those things that threaten life or liberty or the pursuit of happiness.
And please, Lord, give these representatives a great portion of inner peace, wisdom, mental and emotional strength to do, in the best way they can, what they have been elected to do. So may it be. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
