Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for the wonderful week we had. Thank you for the beauty all around us. The days of sunshine have been really fantastic. When you created Alaska you endowed her with beauty everywhere and wonderful resources. Help us as we work through the gasline debate, and help us know how to best get those resources out of the ground and flowing. May we develop those resources in the responsible way you intended. Help us work with and encourage each other as we meet the challenges before us so that the outcome far exceeds our expectations. Be with our families wherever they may be, and be with those in our armed forces and keep them safe. And thank you, Heavenly Father, for your love for us, for your care for us, and for your guidance. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Feige.
