Budget, the downturn in the economy, fallout from the term limits legislation, redistricting, deterioration in the transportation system infrastructure - God, these and a multitude of other concerns stir up the legislative soup as our representatives gather again today. Long, long ago You began this whole Universe by Your creative command.
You continue to hold all things together, but You invite our co-creative courage and decisions. Let innovative and resourceful juices flow even more into these men and women as they continue to address Missouri's problems. We count on Your almighty and compassionate hand. Amen.
