NO. 50
REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2021
________
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 Isaiah 11:6: "The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, the calf and the lion and fatling together, and a little child shall lead them all."
Let us pray. O Lord, You bring peace and hope to the world, guide our steps so that we may walk in Your peace. May the God of hope fill us with joy and peace in believing that we may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Grant us to be people of faith living in Your presence. Keep our first responders and defenders of freedom in Your loving care. Bless our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who give of their time and talents for the good of this State. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave men and women who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your Mercy, hear our prayers. 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, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
Rep. FELDER moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of Murray White, Jr., which was agreed to.
I rise to respectfully request that when the House adjourns today, we adjourn in memory of Murray White, Jr., who passed away February 16, 2021. Mr. White was a native Fort Millian and a devoted family man. He was deep rooted in his faith and always available to serve. He was a defender of our Nation, a conservationist, friend, and encourager. His race was won and he will be greatly missed, not only by his family, but also our community has a void.
Rep. Raye Felder
