The House assembled at 12:00 noon.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Ezekiel 37:17: "The wonders of God's hand: Join them together into one stick, so that they may become one in your hand."
Let us pray. Work through our words and deeds, O God, to bring unity where there is division. You have called these men and women together to work and provide for the needs of this State. Only with Your help can we create togetherness and the environment for good things to happen. Give these Representatives the courage, patience, and persistence to be faithful stewards. Bless those who lead us in Nation and State and those who support them. Protect our defenders of freedom, at home and abroad, as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
Pursuant to Rule 6.3, the House of Representatives was led in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America by the SPEAKER.
After corrections to the Journal of the proceedings of Friday, May 3, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
Rep. FELDER moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of Louis A. Kuchinic, Jr., of Tega Cay, which was agreed to.
