The invocation was offered by the Chaplain, Pastor Cary Henrichsen             
of the Auke Bay Bible Church.  Representative Davis moved and                  
asked unanimous consent that the invocation be spread on the journal.          
There being no objection, it appears below:                                    
                                                                               
The Bible tells us in James 1:16-17, "Do not be deceived, my                  
dear brothers.  Every good and perfect gift is from above,                     
coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does                       
not change like shifting shadows."  God, may we today                          
recognize that in all things, Your perfect love for us has our                 
best interest in mind, whether the things that we experience                   
are to develop perseverance or an appreciation for Your grace,                 
blessings and goodness.  In doing so, may we follow Your                       
example in our work today, that we might seek to set                           
ourselves aside and serve others according to what their real                  
needs are.  We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen.
