All present.
Prayer by the Chaplain, Pastor Bruce Henderson.
Father,
The calendar says that it is spring, and so does major league baseball. Yet, we’ve been having snow. Things don’t always go the way we plan. We’re learning that here too. Things sometimes don’t go the way we think they should. Sometimes they go awry or get sidetracked. Sometimes they seem to crash and burn. Please give us patience and compassion, and may we never forget that we are here to serve the people, Your people.
In the Name of the Lord.
Amen.
Pledge of allegiance to the Flag.
Senator Raggio moved that further reading of the Journal be dispensed with, and the President and Secretary be authorized to make the necessary corrections and additions.
Motion carried.
