122nd Session, 2017-2018 Journal of the House of Representatives
(Statewide Session)
The House assembled at 9:30 a.m. Our thought for today is from Matthew 4:4: "People do not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God." Let us pray. Gracious Lord, fuel our faith, so that we might live as we feed on the food for the body and food for the soul. Give these Representatives and staff the nourishment to work for the people of this State. We give thanks and praise to You, O Lord, for giving these people the opportunity for service in this place. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who labor in these Halls of Government. Protect our first responders and those who defend us at home and abroad. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our women and men who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen. Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by the SPEAKER. After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
Rep. ERICKSON moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of Virginia "Ginny" Darden Meeks of Mount Pleasant, which was agreed to.
