FORTY-THIRD DAY, Friday, March 16, 2007
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Representative Deeken in the Chair.
Prayer by Chris Dunn, Director of Legislation, Office of Speaker Rod Jetton.
Heavenly Father, Your Word says "For behold, the winter is past... The flowers appear on the earth: the time of the singing of the birds has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land." (Song of Solomon 2:11-12)
As the grass turns green, as flowers emerge from the soil, and as the trees begin to bud we thank You for the arrival of Spring. We are genuinely grateful for the longer days and for the recent signs of life that are percolating around us. We ask today that You would reflect this same newness into our hearts.
Your Word says "A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without Him, who can eat or find enjoyment? To the man who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness." (Ecclesiastes 2:24-26)
We ask You Lord that You would make our work pleasing to You today and that in doing so, we would find great satisfaction. In return, we ask You to fulfill the promise that You will give wisdom, knowledge and happiness. You are awesome God. Thank You deeply for the life You have given us. 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: Ross Deeken.
