Second Regular Session, 94th General Assembly
ELEVENTH DAY, Tuesday, January 29, 2008
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Pro Tem Pratt in the Chair.
Prayer by Msgr. Donald W. Lammers.
(On the morning after President Bush's State of the Union Address, this word from the Christian scriptures is timely).
The apostle Paul is inspired to write: "I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be offered for all men, for kings and all in high places, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way". (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
Almighty God, we pray for our President and all our national leaders in high places. We pray that they receive, and rely on, Your gift of right judgment and wisdom, in making the decisions that are developing for the sake of our nation and all its people. And may harmony and justice be advanced between our nation and all other nations, especially those with whom we are involved in warfare or dangerous tension.
Lord God, may the same gifts of right judgment and wisdom be granted to us for the sake of the people we serve in the State of Missouri.
We pray to You, our God forever and ever. Amen.
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: Lily Burns, Delun Shi, Kia Kemp, Lizzy Lannin, Rafael Leija-Elias, Abby Fulcher, Tricia Hill, Cailtin Price, Kia Woods, Janice Sutton, Brandon Parker, Dustin Hayes, Ebony Jones, Alphonso Carillo, Samantha Tran, Irving Gonzales, Tony Ngyuen, Kahalil Harbia, Mariah Smith, Leon Gray, Andre Rush, Breanne Echols, Aaron Collins and JoAnna Hernandez.
