Journal of the Senate

SECOND REGULAR SESSION

TWENTY-NINTH DAY--WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2000

President Pro Tem Quick in the Chair.

The Reverend Carl Gauck offered the following prayer:

"Do you not know that I must be about my Father's business?" (Luke 2:49)

Heavenly Father, help us cultivate that sense of "I must!" in all that we do here. Help us in our service to the public, our contributions to the state, our daily service to our fellow men and women we serve with; give us that sense of "divine necessity." Help us see that we are called to do this not as unwilling slaves of a cruel habit, but because Your love for us leaves us no choice - We must because we want to! This we ask in Your Holy Name. Amen.

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag was recited.

A quorum being established, the Senate proceeded with its business.
