First Extraordinary Session, 94th General Assembly
SECOND DAY, Tuesday, August 21, 2007
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Jetton in the Chair.
Prayer by D. Adam Crumbliss, Chief Clerk.
Our Heavenly Father,
It is only by Your grace that we stand assembled today armed with the spirit of service, enshrouded by love. Your sacrifices have made possible the wonder of life that we cherish as we seek to establish a better future for our fellow man built on a rock foundation of hope, love, trust, and faith.
We do not stand alone in these efforts. Your wisdom has provided for each of us families and loved ones to sustain our sense of purpose in times of challenge and great strife. It is they that have laid down their lives to support those of us gathered here today. Absent Your gift of their love and abiding sacrifice, we would be as fishermen lost at sea without a star by which to navigate.
Father, let our prayers turn today to those loved ones who surrender all things tranquil and prosperous to afford us the freedom to serve. Shine Your light upon them and lift them up with Your blessings of love.
In Your name we pray. Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
