Second Regular Session, 90th General Assembly
THIRTEENTH DAY, Wednesday, January 26, 2000
Speaker Gaw in the Chair.
Prayer by Father David Buescher.
I adapt this prayer from Celtic Prayers from Iona, by J. Philip Newell:
Your are the love of each living creature, O God.
You are the warmth of the rising sun.
You are the whiteness of the moon at night.
You are the life of the growing earth.
You are the strength of the waves of the sea.
Speak to us this day, O God.
Speak to us Your truth.
Dwell with us this day, O God.
Dwell with us in love. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
The Journal of the twelfth day was approved as corrected by the following vote:

House Resolution No. 141
WHEREAS, the members of the Missouri House of Representatives always welcome the opportunity to recognize those Show-Me State college students who have attained notable success during four years of impressive sports competition while pursuing excellence in academics; and
WHEREAS, Scott Pingel, son of Wayne and Janet Pingel of Perryville, Missouri, is a senior at Westminster College in Fulton, where he enjoys an excellent reputation as the Saint Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Player of the Year and a GTE Academic All-American finalist; and
WHEREAS, Scott Pingel capped his stellar football career as a wide receiver for the Blue Jays by being named to the Hewlett-Packard Division III All-American first team, making him the only player to earn such distinction the past three seasons; and
WHEREAS, admirably coached by Conference Coach of the Year John Welty, Scott Pingel completed the 1999-2000 season by setting new NCAA all-divisions records for career receptions, career yardage, and career touchdown catches; and
WHEREAS, the final season of his college athletic career found Scott Pingel recording 136 receptions for 1,648 yards and 24 touchdowns, and experiencing the privilege to play in the Fifth Annual All-American Bowl at the Metrodome in Minneapolis; and
WHEREAS, arguably the greatest receiver statistically in NCAA history, Scott Pingel shattered performances by his predecessors when he entered into the record books career totals of 436 receptions, 6,108 yards, and 75 touchdown catches; and
WHEREAS, Scott Pingel tied the fifteen-year-long reception record during an early senior-year game against Illinois College before nearly 100 friends and relatives attending from his hometown and wearing "Great Scott" T-shirts who then saw him break the record in a later play and deliver the football to a referee for donation to the College Football Hall of Fame; and
WHEREAS, Scott Pingel recently experienced the high honor and the rare distinction of receiving the 1999 Melberger Award as the NCAA Division III Player of the Year, becoming the first wide receiver ever to earn this coveted accolade:NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that we, the members of the Missouri House of Representatives, Ninetieth General Assembly, join unanimously to applaud the richly-deserved accomplishments of Scott Pingel during his college career and to congratulate him for his record-breaking and record-setting senior year of football at Westminster College; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Chief Clerk of the Missouri House of Representatives be instructed to prepare a properly inscribed copy of this resolution in honor of wide receiver Scott Pingel of Perryville, Missouri.HOUSE COURTESY RESOLUTIONS OFFERED AND ISSUED
