First Regular Session, 93rd General Assembly
NINETEENTH DAY, Tuesday, February 8, 2005
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Pro Tem Bearden in the Chair.
Prayer by Father David Buescher.
Communicator God
When I come to You, with deep concerns You never silence me.
And when I risk telling You my most immediate thoughts and fears, You do not patronize me nor push me aside.
But You are God and not man. It is often with other persons that I have to deal in life.
Help me in all my dealings with these to remember that they too have need to communicate underneath their
fragile ego and brokenness.
And it is before YOU and not them that I ultimately stand and find my true worth. Amen.
(Unknown author)
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: Keith Stewart, Kaila Jensen, Marissa Jensen, Bryce Jensen, Emily Jensen, Josiah Jensen, Lydia Jensen, Nathanial Jensen, Philip Jensen, Quincy Jensen, Kira Moffet, Camden Moffet and Krista Masterson.
