First Regular Session, 91st General Assembly
TWENTY-SIXTH DAY, Wednesday, February 14, 2001
Speaker Kreider in the Chair.
Prayer by Reverend Rudy Beard.
On this day we think of the heart and of how our lives flourish when we experience love. Gracious God, we thank You for our parents, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, children, grandchildren and close friends who give us their love. The men and women of this House have been blessed with this gift. Help us all to be worthy of the love that is given.
We know that candy and flowers can never atone for our neglect of them. So we pray that in the days ahead our love may speak to the hearts who love us, through kindness, gentle attention, thoughtfulness and respect.
Bless those whose names we now whisper in Your presence and keep them in Your perfect peace. To you be glory and honor forever. 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: Sarah Elizabeth Busch and Jacob McAlexander.
