Without objection, it was so ordered. Waste Not A Day Our days on earth, but grains of sand, Tumbling down the glass of time. Not what we take, but what we leave, That will linger down the line. Will it be love's compassion? Forgiveness so sublime? That marks us in the book of life, Deep within the grand design? For all who place their faith in you, Rise up to light the way. For all who seek hope anew, Give breath to each new day. 2008-04-07 Senate Journal Page 2688 For as we judge one another, So too, our lot shall be. Give your burdens to the One, Who said "Come Follow Me". Meet every day with simple joy, Seize each moment in the sun. May we forgive one another, As our Lord for us has done. by David Stancliff Senator French led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
