                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We are thankful, gracious God, that You give us a vision of a world 
where justice reigns and where mercy and peace and reconciliation 
abide. Yet, we know too that You have given us minds with which to 
think, eyes with which to see, hands with which to work and hearts with 
which to love. Encourage us and all of Your people, dear God, to use 
the abilities and gifts that You have given so that while we pray and 
hear Your word we also go about our communities doing those good works 
that honor You and serve people in their need. Bless us this day and 
every day, we pray. Amen.
