We thank You especially now for the gift of change, the gift of newness that opens doors closed by habit and routine. We bless You and thank You as well for that which is stable and unchanging, for the ancient and traditional which give meaning to the new and different. We thank You, O God of all Longing, for the capacity for change in our lives, for without change there can be no real growth and no true life. 2006-03-22 Senate Journal Page 2538 We are grateful, in this time, for those persons who, through their gifts of excitement and adventure have taught us not to fear change, not resist the new. We are thankful also for Your sacred Word, who speaks to us of new wine for new wineskins and who calls us daily to a new kingdom and to a new relationship. May our hearts be ever-changing, ever in growth, as we journey to our Mysterious Source, You who are forever fresh and new yet forever the same. Blessed are You, Lord our God, who gives spice to life with change. (Thanks to Edward Hayes and his prayer "Change") Senator Ellis led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
