Dear God, as we gather here today, charged with the work of guiding our state and making decisions that will have far- reaching effects on the lives of all Alaskans, grant us serenity in our deliberations and wisdom in our decisions. As we have read in the book of Psalms, "Teach us to make the most of our time, so that we grow in wisdom." We thank You for this beautiful day, a day befitting our Capital city and this great state. We thank You for the strong, independent, and resilient spirit of the people of Alaska, and we thank You for Your divine grace and providence. 2003-05-17 House Journal Page 1778 As we move forward through these final days of session, I pray that we will conduct our affairs with friendship and goodwill and that when we leave here, we can all be proud of the work that we have done, ever mindful of the work remaining, and confident that we have moved the state of Alaska toward a brighter and more prosperous future. We humbly ask these things of You, our creator. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Berkowitz.
