Journal of the House


First Regular Session, 93rd General Assembly




TENTH DAY, Monday, January 24, 2005

 

The House met pursuant to adjournment.


            Speaker Pro Tem Bearden in the Chair.


            Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.


              Heavenly Father, You are a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Therefore, we begin by giving thanks to You for Your marvelous works and abundant kindness shown towards us.


              We recognize that we are but mere men and women, called specifically to the tasks at hand, but in great need of Your wisdom and revelation.


              May we not be caught in schemes, which we have devised, which seem good on the surface, but only serves to gratify the flesh.


              May our words and actions this week be pleasing in Your sight. May the work of our hand prosper in what is right and necessary for the days ahead.


              Now unto You, who is able to keep us from stumbling; we give thanks, and it’s in the strength and power of Your Son’s name we pray. Amen.


            The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.


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