                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We remember this day those in our community who have special concern 
and who look to You, O gracious God, for comfort and blessing. Where 
there is need for healing, we pray that Your grace is sufficient for 
our needs; where there is need for assurance, we pray for Your 
presence; where there is need for hope, we pray for Your miracles. In 
all things, O loving God, we open our lives to Your grace and the sure 
and confident faith that Your spirit will lead us and show us the path 
ahead. This is our earnest prayer. Amen.
