REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 2023
________
The House assembled at 10:00 a.m.
Deliberations were opened with prayer by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr., as follows:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 23:4: "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff--they comfort me."
Let us pray. Shepherding God, we are thankful that Your care for us is never ending and filled with Your abundant goodness and mercy, cause Your blessings to be upon our defenders of freedom and first responders. Blessings to our World, Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, Staff, and all who provide all things for these people of South Carolina. Look in favor upon our men and women who serve in our armed forces. Bring health to our hidden wounds. 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 yesterday, the SPEAKER ordered it confirmed.
Rep. FORREST moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of Jonathan Allen, which was agreed to.
Mr. Speaker, I move that when the House adjourns today, that it adjourn in memory of Jonathan Allen. Jonathan left this earth on March 14th of this year at the young age of 38. He grew up in Anderson, SC, and lived in Batesburg-Leesville for a number of years.
He lit up every room that he entered, and to know him was to love him.
Not only was he a great friend of mine, but he was also a great friend and shining light to all that knew him. He is sorely missed, but he lives on in the hearts of the many friends and family that he leaves behind.
Representative Cally R. "Cal" Forrest, Jr.
The House stood in silent prayer for the family and friends of Edward Bennett, husband of former Representative Bennett.
