The House met pursuant to adjournment.


            Speaker Jetton in the Chair.


            Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.


              Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank You that You advise those who fear You and reveal to them the intent of Your promise. Our eyes are continually on You Lord God. You remove our feet from the mine fields of deception and self-interest.


              We pray for faith that overcomes fear, compassion that overcomes anger, integrity that sustains standards and values, fellowship that divides burdens, and laughter that lifts the soul.


              May Your peace that passes all understanding dwell richly in our hearts. We pray Your grace and mercy, which is sufficient, to carry us through each minute of our day.


              Look upon us with Your love and kindness. Direct our thoughts and words. Forgive us when they are abrasive, insensitive and unadvised.


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


            The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.


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