Representatives Harris and Stoltze were absent and their presence was noted later. The invocation was offered by the Chaplain, Representative Gatto. Representative P. Wilson moved and asked unanimous consent that the invocation be spread on the journal. There being no objection, it was so ordered. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And God said, let there be light and there was light. Then God said, let there be an expanse in the waters and separate the waters. And God said, let the waters below the heavens be gathered in one place and let the dry land appear. Then God said, let the earth sprout vegetation, plants and trees. Soon after he separated the day from the night, dotted the heavens with stars, made the waters teem with life of all sizes; added birds, some cattle, several beasts, lots of other critters, and finally a man and a woman. Then he took a day off. After all that, he put the man and woman in charge. We give thanks for all that work, and as you might suspect, politicians that we are, added a few amendments. Bless this remarkable place we call Alaska. Bless the oceans that touch its borders and the lakes heavy upon the earth and the rivers cutting paths through it and the marshes teeming with life and the hills and valleys, the mountains and glaciers. Especially bless all 2010-04-18 House Journal Page 2458 the people who have always lived here, as well as those who came later. And for us who call this great land our home, we ask for guidance. Should we face a huge obstacle, help us gather strength. If we encounter a seemingly insignificant event, help us perform with excellence. Let us always try to understand, not just be understood; may we try to love, not just be loved. Let each of us become a blessing in the lives of others. As we move rapidly toward conclusion of this 26th session, please give a little extra attention to the staff, the custodians, the other building workers, and those selected to serve. In just a few hours we leave these halls; motivate us to right at least one wrong, no matter how large or small. Finally, and maybe most importantly, consider the American soldier. Place your hand on each of these men and women who battle each day and each night in faraway lands fighting for their country and their countrymen to ensure that our way of life is protected. Bring them safely home. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Joule.
