With respect to the diversity of voices, beliefs, and practices that call out to a power beyond our individual selves, I offer the following prayer. Holy and Faithful One, You have called these men and women, the representatives of the people of Alaska, to ventures of which we cannot yet see the ending, by means as yet unexplored, through perils yet unknown. Help them as schedules press, deadlines loom, and pressures heighten to confront one another without rancor and to work together in mutual forbearance and respect. Grant them minds to think, hearts to love, and hands to serve that their work reflect all that is good and just, for the land and the people, for today and for tomorrow. Amen. 2013-03-29 House Journal Page 0712 The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Feige.
