The Senate assembled at 11:00 A.M., 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:
Psalm 147:1
In Psalms we read: "Praise the Lord! How good it is to sing praises to our God; for he is gracious, and a song of praise is fitting."
Let us bow in prayer: Tomorrow, O God, Earth Day will be observed around the globe. And no South Carolinian should ever take for granted the rich treasures which surround us here in our State. Indeed, all of us must be thoughtful caretakers of the precious resources that enrich our lives. And so, Lord, we ask that You will inspire these Senators, indeed all of us, as together we care for and preserve the natural world You have given to us. In addition, we also pray today for our colleague Stephanie Jones-Fitts, and her family; hold them all tightly in your tender, loving arms. Moreover, we remember our friend and longtime Senate employee, Henry Minis, who died to this life just yesterday. And, of course, we continue, O God, to lift up to You and ask Your richest blessings upon our sisters and brothers in Ukraine: grant them Your peace. We pray all of this in Your wondrous name, dear Lord. Amen.
