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 Leviticus 17:11: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by life."
Let us pray. Almighty God, You have made us in Your likeness and be a free people to live the life You promised us. Help thse women and men to receive the gifts given to them. Grant these men and women good health and good things to come to them. Bless our defenders of freedom and first responders. Look in favor on our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who give of their time and effort to make this great system work. Grant Your loving touch on our women and men who suffer from hidden wounds.
Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
