The House assembled at 12:00 Noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
You have seen us before, Lord - many times. You have heard us pray often. We know because we have felt Your all-seeing eye, and have experienced answers to our prayers. Continue Your companionship with us, we pray, guiding us along life's way since each day is a journey, not a destination. Help us to tackle old problems with wisdom; new ones with enthusiasm.
And, Lord, as we recall the events of the Passover and as we meditate upon the events leading up to Good Friday and Easter, impress upon us anew and increasingly to what extent God will go for His people.
O God of love, hear our prayer. Amen.
