The Senate assembled at 12:00 Noon, the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.
A quorum being present, the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:
Psalm 92:1-2
The Psalmist writes: "It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night."
Yet again, good friends, bow with me in prayer: Truly, loving Lord, we do join today in giving You our heartfelt praise, for You have surely faithfully blessed the Senate of South Carolina throughout this year. So we humbly thank You, O God, for Your wisdom, for Your divine guidance, and of course for Your patience with us, Your servants. We ask now that You continue to hold each of these Senators and their aides in Your loving embrace, dear God. As always, support them as they unfailingly labor onward, tackling significant matters, wrestling with weighty issues, diligently seeking to tie up loose ends, so that they might together experience the satisfaction of achieving successful and worthy results for all of the good citizens of our State. This we humbly pray in Your loving name, O Lord. Amen.
