Our thought for today is from Exodus 4:20: "Moses carried the staff of God in his hand."
Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we thank You for sending these people and giving them wisdom and courage to do the work of the people. Bless them with Your power, as You have given them the staff of leadership. Continue Your blessings on our Nation, State, and her leaders. Give them Your power, and protect our defenders of freedom, at home and abroad, as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
Rep. GEORGE moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of Ronald A. Rogers of Mullins, which was agreed to.
