Lamentations 5:21
"Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may be restored; renew our days as of old."
Let us pray. Restore us to Yourself we pray yet we don't even acknowledge You as Lord of our lives. Restore us to Yourself we pray yet we fail to pray regularly even at meals. Restore us to Yourself we pray yet we do not forgive or forget those who have hurt us. Restore us to Yourself we pray yet we are jealous and not willing to rejoice in the blessings of others. Restore us to Yourself we pray yet we do not open our hearts to even those we love. Restore us to Yourself we pray yet we see many others as less than ourselves. Restore us to Yourselfwe pray yet we refuse to break the toxic addictions that turn our hearts to stone.
Restore us to Yourself we pray yet our actions don't reflect this desire.
O Lord, restore us to Yourself, we pray, but only if we really mean it!
For it is in Your holy name that we offer this prayer, Amen.

Senator KIMPSON rose for an Expression of Personal Interest.
Two women needlessly lost their lives this month, and it wasn't because of Hurricane Florence. On September 18, 2018, two Horry County Sheriff's Deputies were charged with transporting Wendy Newton and Nicolette Green to hospitals for treatment and drove the transport vehicle into the flooded waters where the women were unable to escape. There is no evidence that either woman was violent. Both sought help when they knew that they were suffering from mental illness. Both women were being transported from hospitals that they had checked into -- to mental health facilities where they were being committed. They never reached their destination and the families deserve to know why. It is very, very unfortunate that people living with mental illness in this country are faced with the stigma about their health issues every day, and as you know, I have been constantly sounding the alarm for increased funding for our mental health department and increased funding for state workers who deal with mental illness patients. It is time that we in this State and society do right by our friends and neighbors suffering from mental illness. Wendy Newton and Nicolette Green were mothers, they were daughters, and they were friends. There are still too many questions to be answered about their deaths. Why were they being moved from a place of relative safety during a storm to an area inundated by flood waters? Why is it South Carolina's law that most patients committed are being driven to hospitals by law enforcement? Why would the deputies go around clearly marked barrier areas? Why couldn't the women be rescued? Were the women restrained, and if so, why? So far both officers have been placed on administrative leave while S.L.E.D. and Horry County are conducting investigations. I have spoken to both Senators from Horry County, but my friends this is not enough. Jewels Green, the sister of Nicolette Green is demanding answers. In my capacity as State Senator, I have already talked to the Chairman of the Criminal and Penology Committee, Senator MARTIN. Immediately after we were notified this happened, he and I started corresponding to follow up with law enforcement officers and we have discussed appointing a panel to investigate this tragedy. We must train our officers to recognize the symptoms of mental illness and to respond to those who they are sworn to protect. We must stop depicting people with mental illness as violent. We must provide safe and effective services, and above all, we must take their deaths seriously and let us spur this into action for the work that still needs to be done on behalf of the mentally ill. Thank you, Mr. PRESIDENT.
On motion of Senator MARTIN, with unanimous consent, the remarks of Senator KIMPSON were ordered printed in the Journal.
