The House assembled at 12:25 a.m.
Our thought for today is from Psalm 121:1: "I lift up my eyes to the hills -- from where will my help come?"
Let us pray. Fill us with Your spirit, Lord, so that each thing we do may be filled with love and concern for the people we serve. Bless each of these men and women as they work through the task at hand. Provide them with leadership, courage, and integrity. Renew their strength for this day. Bless those who lead us in Nation and State; our President, our Governor, Speaker, and staff as they strive to do their best. Protect our defenders of freedom. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of those who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen. Written by Rev. Charles E. Seastrunk, Jr.
Rep. CLYBURN moved that when the House adjourns, it adjourn in memory of Betty Butler, which was agreed to.
