The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the SPEAKER as follows:
Our thought for today is from Jeremiah 31:33: "Lord, please pace your teachings on my mind and in my heart, so that I live as one of your people."
Let us pray. Almighty God, source of everything we have, place on our hearts and minds the will to carry out the responsibilities given to us. May we do our job with joy and gladness, knowing we are doing this for the people of this State. Grant us peace and understanding in working with each other. Bless those who lead us, give them wisdom and courage. Protect our defenders of freedom. Heal the wounds of our warriors, those seen and those unseen. Hear us, O Lord, as we pray. Amen.
