Second Regular Session, 90th General Assembly
TWELFTH DAY, Tuesday, January 25, 2000
Representative Auer in the Chair.
Prayer by Father David Buescher.
In the Hebrew Testament, Psalm 139, we read:
If I say, "Surely the darkness shall cover me and the light around me become night". Even the darkness is not dark to you. The night is as bright as the day, for darkness is a light for you.
We pray: All present God, loving parent God, let light shine through this House today, on the floor, in committee, in office, counsel, and discussion. Let any night or darkness we may experience today be flooded with the light of Your direction, Your support, Your warning, if needs be, Your truth. Let our considerations and negotiations begin in You and end in Your loving will, God, forever and ever. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
