Journal of the House

Second Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly

TWENTY-FIFTH DAY, Thursday, February 19, 2004

The House met pursuant to adjournment.

         Representative Richard in the Chair.

         Prayer by Reverend Donald W. Lammers.

          O Lord, our God, we praise You for the warming of the air, the melting of ice and snow, and the peering of sunlight through the clouds. Through these You promise the new life and the freshening of springtime.

          Early springtime finds this assembly participating in the seeking of financial resources and allocating them justly. Bless us with clarity of vision, so that we might be able to see what is just, what is fair, what is equitable. Bless us with the integrity always to work for liberty and justice for all.

          We pray for the ability to avoid the trap of allowing situations in which the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Help us to do our part to establish policy and develop laws that make it possible for the working poor to work their way out of poverty.

          We thank You, O Lord, for the trust that both You and the people have placed in us.

          We praise You, our God forever and ever. 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: Titus Folks, Kyle Lorenz, Savanah Beck and Hannah Lewnczuk.

         The Journal of the twenty-fourth day was approved as corrected.
