Loving Heavenly Father, we commemorate and celebrate Girls and Women in Sports Day, here in the Nevada Legislature. We are reminded of the great lessons that sport teaches each of us: that excellence is worth pursuing and that we would succeed if we would give our all. We pray for these representatives here who have given themselves completely to making this state a better place for everyone to live and for improving the quality of life for we citizens. So bless their efforts today. We pray in the name of our Lord. Amen.
