The House assembled at 2:00 P.M.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Rev. Jay Hammett, Pastor of Summerton Presbyterian Church, Summerton, S.C.:
Lord of Prophets, Priests, and Kings, each and every day You find us, and if we seek You, You shall be found. On this day, the first day of the shortest month we ask that You find us people who have a vision of the opportunities that lie before.
Though perhaps You find us as souls marveling at how much there is to be done and how little time there is for its doing.
Though this house wrestles with insurances, finances, death causing waste, free speech, appropriations, and bills, speak to us of assurance, life giving hope, and Holy decrees.
Bless this State and these proceedings. You have touched this State with beauty. Mountain streams flow gently to the coasts of old, and even now we discover the hidden gold of our interior. Grant that we may not only be shining on the edges, but refreshed, pure, and rich within. We, praying in the name that brings salvation, say Amen.
