Second Regular Session, 91st General Assembly
THIRTEENTH DAY, Wednesday, January 30, 2002
Speaker Kreider in the Chair.
Prayer by Representative Jim Murphy.
Let us bow our heads.
Dear Lord, let us remember that we as legislators are here not for our sake, but for the well being of others. We as legislators are entrusted with advancing the quality of life of the five million people of our great state.
May we follow the example You set dear Lord, when in anger You threw the money changers out of the temple. May we likewise throw out from this Capitol anyone who would manipulate us for their own gain.
With Thy help that can be done. In You we put our trust. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
