Journal of the House


First Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly




SIXTH DAY, Thursday, January 16, 2003


         Representative Holand in the Chair.


         Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.


           Heavenly Father, Lord of Heaven and Earth, even as it is written, “The Lord looks down from Heaven on the entire human race” so may You look upon us this day.


           In the frailty of our existence we approach You asking of Your wisdom and insight.


           Clothe us with Your deliberate plan for this day, not stampeded by the urgency of thought or the frenzied pursuit of our own plans. Let the powerful simplicity of Your order and control; direct our hearts, our minds, and our hopes.


           Guide our steps so that we may not devise our own ways.


           Now, may the grace of our Lord, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all. Amen.


         The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.


         The Journal of the fifth day was approved as corrected by the following vote:
