TWENTIETH DAY, Tuesday, February 8, 2000
Speaker Pro Tem Kreider in the Chair.
Prayer by Reverend Rudy Beard.
Gracious God, teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts to doing good. These men and women of the House, and the staff that supports them, want to do good.
Help them put personal gain aside and work so that their best sense of what is decent and fitting for Missouri will dominate in the business of this session.
Keep them also, lighthearted enough to laugh at all we place before them. To You be glory and grace, now and forever. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
