Journal of the House


First Regular Session, 94th General Assembly




TENTH DAY, Monday, January 22, 2007

The House met pursuant to adjournment.


            Speaker Jetton in the Chair.


            Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.


              Lord God, we thank You that Your life-giving Spirit rests upon us; Your very Presence that brings wisdom and understanding, that gives direction and builds strength, that instills knowledge and the Fear-of-GOD.


              We thank You for breaths of fresh air: a time of introspection, a time of calm reflection, a time to refocus.


              We thank You that when frustration invades our minds, when our hearts are in turmoil, You quiet us and give us renewed hope and cheer.


              May Your plan and purpose, for this Assembly, be our most prized pursuit throughout this week. May it be established in this place and in our lives.


              Now may Your grace abide with us all through this week.


              We ask these things in the name of Your Son. Amen. 


            The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.


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