The invocation was offered by the Chaplain, David Dierdorff of Unitarian Universalist Church of the Larger Fellowship. Representative Westlake moved and asked unanimous consent that the invocation be spread on the journal. There being no objection, it was so ordered. Please join me in reverence. As we gather together this morning, may we learn to recognize and affirm the pieces of possibility, the bits of good we bring. May we encourage rather than control; love rather than possess; enable rather than envy. Allowing our individual gifts to weave a patchwork of peace: the soft deep blue of sensitivity and understanding; the red energy of creativity; the white heat of convictions; the risky, fragile green of new growth; the golden flashes of gratitude; the warm rose of love. Each of us is indispensable if we are to solve the challenges facing us today. Together, in our gathered diversity, we form the whole. So be it. Shalom. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Knopp. 2017-05-15 House Journal Page 1414 CERTIFICATION OF THE JOURNAL Representative Tuck moved and asked unanimous consent that the journal for the 117th and 118th legislative days be approved as certified by the Chief Clerk.
