SECOND DAY, Thursday, January 10, 2008
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Jetton in the Chair.
Prayer by Msgr. Donald W. Lammers.
Sing joyfully to the Lord, all you lands,
Serve the Lord with gladness.
(Psalm 100:1-2)
Indeed, let us praise the Lord, and serve Him this day.
We thank You, our God, for bringing us to this second day of the 2008 Session of the Missouri House of Representatives. We thank You for the people who have sent us here and for the trust they have placed in us. Give us the grace and the courage never to betray that trust.
O Lord, give us a spirit of service that finds us always looking beyond personal gain, and beyond the districts we represent, to the common good. Lord, give us the vision to see what is the common good.
Finally, we pray for an integrity so great that, in serving the people, we are, at the same time, serving You.
We give You praise, and pray to You at this hour, for You are our Lord, our God, now and forever.
Amen.
The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.
The Speaker appointed the following to act as an Honorary Page for the Day, to serve without compensation: Patricia Stangl.
