Journal of the House

Second Regular Session, 92nd General Assembly

SIXTIETH DAY, Thursday, April 29, 2004

The House met pursuant to adjournment.

            Speaker Hanaway in the Chair.

            Prayer by Reverend Donald W. Lammers.

              Holy God, You are the Creator of all; You created mankind in Your image and likeness, and gave mankind dominion over all else that You created.

              O Lord, our work is a work of dominion, of caring for our State and its people. In these last weeks of this 2004 Session, give us the ability to do what is best for our State. In decision-making, show us how to protect the basic human rights of all the people: food, clothing, shelter, education, access to healthcare.

              By Your grace may we share the reverence and respect You have for every human life and for every person. As we go about our work, give us the ability to plan and negotiate until we provide help for those who are truly unable to provide for themselves.

              Give us the wisdom to be effective in calling those who are able to responsibly provide for their own families and of assisting their neighbors in need, through taxation and in direct care.

              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: Adam Stenshoel, Justin Rychlewski, Lucas Miederhoff, Samantha Rosner, Hunter Shantz, Ben Koch, Brooke Evans, Gunnar Knudtson, Lacey Morrison, Morgan Morrison, Tanner Cornelius Chrisler, Rebecca Pfleger Dowd, Emily Laur Beck, Caleb Charles Parker, Paige Catherine Allen, Jackson Spencer Andre, Erik John Morr, Anna Christina Yates, Ryan Keller, Taylor Davis, Kassidie Lawrence, Quentin Nichols, Kainan Deprow, Christopher Scott, Jennifer Scott, Kenneth Roller, Whitney Roller, Wendy Swaringin, Cearra Williams, Lauren Law, Chris Smith, Ashley Freeman, Megan Henry and Matt Tille.
