                        House of Representatives

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  As we walk the paths of life and as we attempt to view the road 
ahead, we pray, almighty God, that Your spirit will encourage us along 
that journey and support us all the day long. We know that our hearts 
grow weary and we need strength; we know that our minds lose the 
discernment needed for the future and we need vision; we know that we 
miss the mark and we hunger for forgiveness and a new start. Wherever 
we are or whatever we do, we pray for Your presence, O God, and for 
Your enduring peace. In Your name we pray. Amen.
