JOURNAL 3
January 28, 1999
The Senate met at 10:30 a.m.
A quorum was present.
The prayer was offered by Rev. David P. Jones, Senate Chaplain.
Lord of little children and their teachers, Lord of home owners and their families, Lord of workers and their businesses, Lord of public servants and their constituients: Help us to look carefully today, that we may see beyond the aromatic distractions that clamor for our attention and catch glimpses together of the right way to go. May our ears be attuned to the soft sounds of our genuine opportunties and not just to the raucous squawking of our anxieties. And finally, give us your grace that we may tread cautiously today and not step in anything we would regret. Amen
Senator Johnson led the Pledge of Allegiance.
