House of Representatives

  The House met at 9 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  When all is said and done, O God, we are aware and appreciative of 
all Your gifts to us and to all people. We have been blessed in ways 
that have been greater than our deserving. Your grace has touched our 
lives with love and compassion and mercy. O gracious God, from whom all 
blessings flow, we ask Your benediction on us and those about us that 
in all things Your hand will sustain us and Your mercy will be without 
end. This is our earnest prayer. Amen.
