                                 PRAYER

  Reverend Jeff Parish, First Baptist Church of Indian Rocks, Largo, 
Florida, offered the following prayer:
  Lord, we come before You today and pray for our elected officials.
  God, I pray for wisdom for them in areas that they need it and 
guidance to follow You, Lord, in all things.
  God, we do pause today and ask You to use us as Your servants.
  We realize our dependence on You and look to You for answers to the 
problems that face our country. I pray that the discussion and the 
decisions made in this Chamber today, God, will reflect Your heart and 
Your direction.
  Lord, we pray in Jesus' name.
  Amen.
