EIGHTEENTH DAY, Monday, February 6, 2006

The House met pursuant to adjournment.


            Speaker Jetton in the Chair.


            Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.


              Our voices rise to You, O God, and we cry aloud; Our voices rise to You, O God, and You hear us. We seek You in the times of trouble and in the times of rejoicing, our heart longs for You. How powerful You are! How great is Your strength!


              When we experience roadblocks, and are troubled, perplexed and in need of answers, we pray, knowing You will hear us and provide answers to the complex issues before us.


              We turn our ear to hear Your wisdom and apply our heart to Your instruction that we may discover what our primary pursuits should be this week. Guide us in Your grace, keep us in Your mercy, reveal to us Your insights concerning our daily activities.


              Now may the Lord of Peace, Himself, continually grant us peace in every circumstance. May He comfort and strengthen our hearts in every good work and word.


              We ask these things in the name of Your Son. Amen and amen.


            The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.


            The Journal of the seventeenth day was approved as corrected.
