NO. 36
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2025
________
The House assembled at 12:00 noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Jeff Lingerfelt as follows:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 145:9-10: "The Lord is good to all,
and his mercies are over all his works. All your works shall give thanks to you, o Lord, and your godly ones shall bless you."
Let us pray: O Great God of highest Heaven, You alone are worthy of all our praise. Your Only Begotten Son created all things, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him. And it is in Him that we live and move and have our being. We assemble today to give you thanks for your sovereign rule that has brought us to this time in history. We are here because you chose us to be your appointed governmental officials to lead this state. Please empower your needy servants to serve and govern those entrusted to our care. We are Your stewards accountable to the Most High God who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. Amen.
