REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 8, 2019
________
The House assembled at 12:00 noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Ecclesiastes 4:9: "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor."
Let us pray. We place our prayers before You, O Lord, for we know You have called these men and women to this place in order that they come together to get the work of the people done. Bless them as they labor in their tasks for it is by Your hand they will accomplish these goals. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders as they care for each of us. Bestow Your blessings on our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who labor in these Halls of Government. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
