124th Session, 2021-2022 Journal of the House of Representatives
NO. 9
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2021
(STATEWIDE SESSION) Indicates New Matter
The House assembled at 2:00 p.m. Our thought for today is from Lamentations 3:22: "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end." Let us pray. Almighty and merciful God, we implore You to hear the prayers of Your people. Be our strong defense against all harm and danger. Provide these Representatives and Staff with the tools to withstand all evil which may come. Bless and keep these men and women under Your care as they carry out the duties required of them. May they do this with a firm hand yet with love and concern for each other. Look in favor on our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who give of their time and talents to this great cause. Bless 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.
