Journal of the House

First Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly

TWENTY-FIRST DAY, Thursday, February 13, 2003

         Speaker Hanaway in the Chair.

         Prayer by Father David Buescher.

           God, sometimes we seem to wait in vain for Your strength and love. At those times, perhaps You challenge us to fall back on our own giftedness and talents, to work together more closely, more compassionately, that we might come to know our own strength and our own capacity to care. Those are the gifts You have planted deep in our hearts and souls anyway.

           So as this House comes to order, may these women and men come to know again their God-given capacities and use them today to make Missouri even better. Amen.

         The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.

         The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Rachel Proffitt, Brad Steinke, Ian Kreher and Hannah Thomas.

         The Journal of the twentieth day was approved as printed by the following vote:
