Second Regular Session, 94th General Assembly
TWELFTH DAY, Wednesday, January 30, 2008
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Jetton in the Chair.
Prayer by Representative Ed Emery.
Fill us, O Lord and Father of us all, we beseech Thee, with Thy gentle Spirit, and dispel all the clouds of misunderstanding and passion. Make an end to the strife of blind fury. Arise, O Christ, Thou Sun of Righteousness, and shine upon us. Alas! While we contend, we only too often forget to strive after holiness which Thou requirest from us all. Guard us against abusing our powers and enable us to employ them with all earnestness for the promotion of holiness.
Make us to leave all past errors to the judgment of the Saviour; and to give a charitable hearing to every man's opinions, thoughts and ideas; with the desire that all might live under the one Christ, in one Commonwealth, one Church, and one Unity.
In part attributed to Zwingli, Swiss theologian, leader of the Reformation in Switzerland and in part to Charles V, Roman Emperor (circa 1530).
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: Micah Rucker and Caleb Foster.
