First Regular Session, 95th General Assembly
TWENTIETH DAY, Wednesday, February 11, 2009
The House met pursuant to adjournment.
Speaker Richard in the Chair.
Prayer by Reverend Phillip McClendon, Calvary Baptist Church, Joplin, MO.
Our Father, we praise You for Your love that embraces us and gives us security, Your joy that uplifts us and gives us resiliency, Your peace that floods our hearts and gives us calmness, Your Spirit that fills us and gives us strength and fortitude.
Guide us, Lord, so we can maximize the hours of this week. Help us to think clearly without confusion, to speak without resentment, to debate without division and to decide courageously without strife. May our speech honor You and deal with issues and not personalities. Grant these representatives Your grace to work this week as the honorable men and women who love You and count it a high privilege to serve, as leaders of our beloved Nation. 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: Kaylee Marie Scrivner, Wilber Song, Eric Pasewark, Josh Bressler, Oliver Reed, Alyssa Seidel, Kade Franks, Josh Paulson, Louie Edelen and Tucker Dyke.
