Journal of the House

Second Regular Session, 95th General Assembly

TWENTY-THIRD DAY, Tuesday, February 16, 2010

The House met pursuant to adjournment.

            Speaker Richard in the Chair.

            Prayer by Msgr. Donald W. Lammers.

              Let us pray, from Psalm 25:

"Guide me in your truth and teach me,

For you are God my savior,

And for you I wait all the day."

(Psalm 25:5)

              Almighty God, many topics compete for our attention; help us to see the truth and wisdom each has to offer. When several conflicting values seek our support, give us the vision and wisdom to judge which are of greater importance, which correspond best to what is real and true, which best serve the common good.

              Give us the courage always to stand up for what is right and just.

              To You, Almighty God, be honor and glory forever. Amen.

            The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was recited.

            The Journal of the twenty-second day was approved as printed.
