The prayer was offered by the Chaplain, Pastor Larry Olson, Eagle Wings Community Church. Senator Hoffman moved and asked unanimous consent that the prayer be spread. Without objection, it was so ordered. Dear Lord, the stress of long hours, an overload of information, the disparity of constitutional duties and political obligations, and being away from home and family is certainly weighing heavily on this assembled body at this point in this session. Bless all who serve here. We remember before You today Alaskans who are having a hard time of it: those who are ill in body, mind, and spirit; those who are in slavery to a whole host of addictions; those who live in danger, even in their own homes; those who feel near the breaking point. Guard and protect them. May they have the resources they need to live. We pray for those people we name in our hearts now. Amen. Senator Elton asked the Senate to join in a moment of silent prayer for the families of Ladd Macaulay and Martin Richard, two state employees killed in an automobile accident, and for the quick recovery of Steve McGee. 3335 2000-04-20 Senate Journal Page 3336 Senator Pete Kelly led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance.
