Senator Taylor was absent. The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Dr. Paul Beran, Pastor of the Resurrection Lutheran Church. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Gracious God, You alone are eternal. But for us the years speed by so quickly. Help us use our measured days wisely, lest we major in the minors and neglect the most important. You have declared "blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." Before You, even the nations rise and fall. You have showered us with blessings far beyond what we deserve. Yet across our state and land there is a malaise of morality and an epidemic of violence. Help us to see the error of our ways that we might set our feet on the paths of righteousness and peace. As leaders in our state, we thank You for these senators. Give to them, and to all of us, the wisdom to know the right and the courage to do it, both in our personal and public lives. This I pray in Your Holy name. Amen. Senator Cowdery led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance. 2001-04-27 Senate Journal Page 1296 Certification Senator Leman moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the one hundred ninth legislative day and Senate Journal Supplement No. 5 be approved as certified by the Secretary.
