The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, David Dierdorff of the Juneau Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Please join me in reverence. Spirit of life and love, God of many names, Thou who art the vital center of our lives - We know that Your presence is not called up by much speaking. Rather may we honor Your presence in the absence of noise. While we may not be on close terms, we would recognize the need for Your help. There are many times when we can not go it alone. When we would be strong, we discover that we are weak and need the confidence of Your presence. When we would be good, we often forget our resolve and slip into evil and sloth. We need the vision of transcendent presence which You offer to us, encouraging us to be better than we are, challenging us to high resolve and a love that cares. (Alan G. Deale, Minister emeritus, First Unitarian Church) So be it. Amen. 2006-04-20 Senate Journal Page 2820 Senator Bunde led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
