Journal of the House

Second Regular Session, 95th General Assembly

FORTY-FIRST DAY, Wednesday, March 24, 2010

The House met pursuant to adjournment.

            Speaker Richard in the Chair.

            Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.

              Lord, God, You are highly exalted, glorious beyond our understanding. Often our words fall woefully short and betray our ignorance of Who You are and Your explicit intentions for us.

              Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your kindness and mercy which You have graciously showered upon us. We humbly approach You with reverence and awe. May not a day pass that we do not welcome Your grace, mercy, compassion and love.

              It has been rightfully said that the kingdom of self is heavily defended territory. If we have, in the past, vigorously defended self, forgive us and help us now to passionately consider and defend the rights and purposes of this state and our constituents.

              When asked to do the difficult, the tendency is to shrink back and look for easy paths. May we instead, by Your grace, rise to the challenge and with patience, together, find solutions to the challenges we face. We very much need Your help.

              Now may the Lord, our God, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort our hearts and establish us in every good word and work.

              In the name of Your Son, I pray. 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: Devyn Miller, Joshua Carr, Lauren Faulkner, Colin Carter, Neha Jayan, Josh Simelbauer and Ashley Cook.

            The Journal of the fortieth day was approved as corrected.
