Without objection, it was so ordered. Our Father, who has set a restlessness in our hearts and made us all seekers after that which we can never fully find, forbid us to be satisfied with what we make of life. Draw us from base content and set our eyes on far off goals. Keep us at tasks too hard for us that we may be driven to Thee for strength. Deliver us from the fretfulness and self-pitying; make us sure of the good we cannot see and of the hidden good in the world. Open our eyes to simple beauty all around us and our hearts to the loveliness men hide from us because we do not try to understand them. Save us from ourselves and show us a vision of the world made new. Amen. Senator Olson led the Senate in the Pledge of Allegiance. 2009-04-18 Senate Journal Page 1036 Certification Senator Ellis moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the eighty-eighth legislative day be approved as certified by the Secretary.
