The Senate assembled at 12:00 Noon, the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the PRESIDENT.

A quorum being present, the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows:

In Exodus we read:

"But Moses said to God, 'Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt'?"     (Exodus 3:11)

Let us pray:

Holy God, time and again those in leadership roles inevitably find themselves thinking, "Who am I to be carrying out these responsibilities, to have taken on these duties?" Lord, grant to each Senator great confidence as she or he strives to lead on behalf of the people of our State. May South Carolina truly prosper and move forward due to the diligence, the wisdom, and the moral courage of each of these servants. May they continually sense Your commanding presence over all that they undertake, dear God, and may the results bring great blessings to untold generations which follow. This we pray in Your blessed name, O Lord.
Amen.
