Monday, January 31, 1994


(Legislative day of Tuesday, January 25, 1994)

   The Senate met at 1 p.m., on the expiration of the recess, and was

State of Kentucky.
                                 ______



                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Richard C. Halverson, D.D., offered the 
following prayer:
   Let us pray:
       I beseech you therefore * * * by the mercies of God, that 
     ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable 
     unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not 
     conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the 
     renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, 
     and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.--Romans 12:1,2.
  Gracious Father in Heaven, as You know my heart, I have never felt a 
prayer more deeply than the one today.
  Your servant, the Apostle Paul, who wrote the words with which this 
prayer begins, reminds us that our bodies were created to be God's 
temple, that God has a plan for each of us. And in that plan, we 
fulfill our maximum potential as persons. As we present our bodies to 
You, we take the first step in fulfilling the Lord's prayer: ``* * * 
Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.''
  Mighty God, grant that every Senator and family may somehow 
comprehend this fundamental truth. And may every one of us who has the 
privilege of laboring on Capitol Hill comprehend this incredible 
possibility.
  Save us, dear Lord, from being just a cheap copy of the Divine 
original God intended; a ``might-have-been'' rather than all we have 
the potential to be.
  In His name who is love incarnate we pray. Amen.
