The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 65:11: "You crown the year with your goodness, and your paths overflow with plenty."
Let us pray. Father God, as we continue to organize the House for another Session, be our guide in all things that are done here. May these Representatives ever be conscious of doing the right things for the right reason in working for the betterment of our great State. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, and staff and all who serve in these Halls of Government. Protect our defenders of freedom at home and abroad as they protect us. Hear us, O Lord. Amen.
