Journal of the House


NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY

of the

STATE OF MISSOURI

SECOND REGULAR SESSION

 


 

 

FIRST DAY, Wednesday, January 9, 2008

 

Speaker Jetton in the Chair.


         Prayer by Reverend James Earl Jackson.


           O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth.


           You have declared to us from Your Word that wisdom is the principal thing and that should be our primary pursuit. It is more precious than earthly riches and nothing we desire can compare with it.


           Father, we are determined to pursue wisdom and understanding, recognizing that wisdom coupled with good sense causes us to possess knowledge and good judgment. To fear You Lord is to hate evil, pride, arrogance, evil behavior and vicious speech. May this be the guiding principle of this session.


           Your wisdom provides counsel, understanding and power. May we legislate by wisdom that we may establish laws that are beneficial and just.


           Thank You, in advance, for granting us wisdom throughout this 2008 session. May we daily hear it, receive it, embrace it and apply it.


           We ask these things in the name of Your Son. Amen.


         The Missouri State Highway Patrol, Troop F Color Guard, presented the Colors.


         The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.


         The Speaker appointed the following to act as Honorary Pages for the Day, to serve without compensation: Tara Duckworth and Xiaochu Hu.
