Journal of the House

Second Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly

FIFTY-SIXTH DAY, Thursday, April 22, 2004

The House met pursuant to adjournment.

            Speaker Hanaway in the Chair.

            Prayer by Reverend Donald W. Lammers.

              "The Lord is the earth and its fullness; the world and those who dwell in it." (Psalm 24:1)

              Holy Lord, our God, on Earth Day we remember Your plan that we live in harmony with the earth, with nature and with all people as our neighbors.

              We wish to show our respect for You, the Creator, by our care for creation. May Your Holy Spirit guide us in our personal lives and in our professional lives to do our part in the protection and the care of the earth.

              O Lord, that seems easier than living in harmony with all other people on earth, making them our neighbors. May we never lose hope! Rather, by Your grace, may we and all other leaders make decisions that bring us closer and closer to living with all other people as neighbors.

              We pray to You who are our God, forever and ever. 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: Bryan Page, Brittany Sanders, Eric Isringhaus, Elizabeth Dreyer, Daniel Pfeffer, Breana O'Brien, John Meyers, Nick Powell, Melissa Beutenmiller, Joseph Clark, Micah Marshall and Zane Coleman.
