Document:
Our thought for today is from Psalm 61:8: "So I will sing praises to your name, as I pay my vows day after day."
Let us pray. Almighty God, You wonderfully created the dignity of human nature and yet more wonderfully restored it. In Your mercy, let us, as Your people, share the life You have given us. Lead us to the rock that is our strong hold and our refuge. Look in favor upon our Nation as we struggle to do Your will. Bless our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who labor in this vineyard. Bless and protect our defenders of freedom and first responders as they protect us. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.
Rep. MCCRAVY moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of the Honorable William "Bill" Charles, Jr., which was agreed to.
The House stood in silent prayer in memory of Reverend William "Billy" Franklin Graham, Jr.

The undersigned do not agree with the Resolution and would like it to be placed in the Journal that we are not in support of House Resolution 4982.
I have requested that my name be removed from H. 4982 which condemns UNESCO resolutions expressing member nations' view on Israel's ties to Jerusalem. I believe the Israeli government under the leadership of Prime Minister Netanyahu has sowed seeds of division and made it much harder to bring about peace in the Middle East. Further, Israel's decision to expel people from African nations, Prime Minister Netanyahu's disrespect towards former President Barack Obama, and the pending investigation of Prime Minister Netanyahu's activities makes it difficult to support this Resolution.
