The House assembled at 10:00 A.M.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Dick Lincoln, Pastor of Shandon Baptist Church in Columbia as follows:
Heavenly Father: We pause to thank you that our human ability can count for good in a world that so desperately needs for good to be done. But we also pause to confess that two of the truest measures of our brokenesses are our frequent inability to be sure of what is good - or our frequent unwillingness to do that which we know to be good.
We bow before you our sovereign Lord and ask that you reveal to each of us the good you want done through this legislative body. Grant to each of these representatives the courage of faith that they may honorably and wisely serve their state and constituents.
We thank you for this day and for the gift of life. In Jesus' name.
