Indicates Matter Stricken
Indicates New Matter
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 Isaiah 27:5: "Let it cling to me for protection. Let it make peace with me."
Let us pray. We seek Your protection and love, O God. We come because You invite us to find peace in Your presence. We realize there is only one constant in this world. There is only one place we can go where we know we will be safe. But we do know that the unchanging love of You, O God, will enfold us when our world is turned on its ear. We entrust our protection to You, because You care for us. Bless our Nation, State, this Assembly, and all who lead us and support us. Protect our defenders of freedom as they protect us. Heal the wounds of our brave warriors, those seen and those unseen. Hear us, O Lord, as we pray. Amen.
