Senator Duncan was excused from a call of the Senate. Senator Pearce was absent. The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Pastor Larry Rorem of Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. God of Wisdom, Love and Compassion, may the diversity of our state be reflected in the dialogue that occurs in this place. May there be a willingness to take stands on issues, not for personal gain, but out of a deep desire to best serve the needs of our people. There is so much criticism, disrespect and mistrust of the political process and those who lead. May this Senate build bridges of relationship and trust between the people of our state. May we promote dignity by example and by decision making. In a society so lacking in quality role models, help this group by their honesty, integrity, humor and genuine caring, to model the kind of lives we wish our youth to adopt. In the busy realities of this session help us to make time for personal soul searching and prayer about what is truly important in our lives. May what we learn about ourselves in our silent reflections help bring peace to us and to others. May it bring a depth to our being that is a blessing to our state and to all of its people. May we take good care of ourselves so we can better care for others. In Your Holy Name, Amen. 619 1997-03-07 Senate Journal Page 0620 Senator Ward led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
