Second Regular Session, 91st General Assembly
FIFTEENTH DAY, Monday, February 4, 2002
Speaker Pro Tem Abel in the Chair.
Prayer by Father David Buescher.
Lord, we are distressed that our St. Louis Rams did not come home victors, despite their bravest of efforts. As important as that game might be to our state's self-esteem, remind us that life is more than sport. Confer a blessing on these representatives. Aid them to continue on the playing field of elective office following the rules of fair-play and self-respect. Keep their minds and hearts on the many goal posts - liberty, personal dignity, life, democracy, justice, and so forth.
So may all the state of Missouri and its many citizens be winners today and always. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
