EIGHTH DAY, Wednesday, January 17, 2007
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Representative Icet in the Chair.
Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.
Father God, You are our anchor in stressful times; our stability in adversity. We are grateful to know that You are mindful of us, watching over our coming in and going out. You are good with only our best at heart.
And so we are thankful and glad and feel completely secure; confident that You will not abandon us in our hour of need.
We are aware that it was not our power or our might that have brought us to this place, but Your sovereign grace. All authority is of You.
Help us in our impatience. Grant stability when we waver. Strengthen us when we are weak. Forgive us for hasty words. Comfort us in Your love.
Now may Your grace rest and abide with each one of us throughout this coming week.
We ask these things in the name of Your Son. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
The Speaker appointed the following to act as an Honorary Page for the Day, to serve without compensation: Ed Kretzler.
