With the deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all Alaskans, I offer the following prayer: 2018-04-20 House Journal Page 3370 Gracious God, on this cold and rainy mid-April day, may we find solace in the fact that when the sun withers Alaskans do not. We stand up and double down. Never forgetting why we are here - each Alaskan with their own unique reason - reasons that can never be stolen, lost, or fabricated. May the pride in our state be as quiet as thunder, while giving us the strength and resolve to approach ambiguity with open arms. Bless us with the courage to combat the enemy of our best selves, self-doubt, while we realize every human on earth is fighting a personal battle we cannot see and pray they win the war. May we lose with honor and win with unequivocal humility. It is another beautiful day to serve Alaska. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Grenn.
