                    TWENTY-FIRST LEGISLATURE - FIRST SESSION                   
                                                                               
Juneau, Alaska                                                                 
                                                                               
                               Ninety-fourth Day                               
                                                                               
Pursuant to adjournment the Senate was called to order by President            
Pearce at 11:25 a.m.                                                           
                                                                               
The roll showed twenty members present.                                        
                                                                               
The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Pastor Cary Henrichsen of              
the Auke Bay Bible Church. Senator Hoffman moved and asked                     
unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it             
was so ordered.                                                                
                                                                               
I ask that we begin this morning by observing a                               
moment of silence for families of the children who                             
were tragically killed a few days ago in Colorado.                             
Lord, it is my sincere prayer that this would never                            
happen in our schools. Our hearts go out to them                               
this morning.                                                                  
                                                                               
James 1:5 tells us If any of you lacks wisdom, he                             
should ask God, who gives generously to all without                            
finding fault, and it will be given to him. This                               
morning, Lord, on behalf of this body of men and                               
women who stand before You in the midst of a                                   
difficult task, I ask that You would give to each of                           
them the wisdom and discernment to determine what                              
is best for the people of Alaska. I am confident                               
Lord, that while the challenge is great, You are                               
greater, and are able to show our Senators the way                             
they should go. We ask humbly and in expectation                               
of Your wise and generous answer, as we pray in                                
Jesus name, Amen.                                                              
                                                                               
Senator Leman led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
