The invocation was offered by the Chaplain, the Reverend Dr. Tim Harrison of Chapel by the Lake. Representative Vance moved and asked unanimous consent that the invocation be spread on the journal. There being no objection, it was so ordered. Today is the birthday of William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army. He was known for his great faith, passionate zeal, profound wisdom, and quick wit. He famously said: Don't instill, or allow anybody else to instill into the hearts of your girls the idea that marriage is the chief end of life. If you do, don't be surprised if they get engaged to the first empty, useless fool they come across. He also said: One of the chief dangers confronting the coming (20th) century was politics without God. In honor of one who inspired hundreds of men and women to serve the poor, outcast, overlooked, and vulnerable in many of our Alaskan communities, and with deep respect for the religious beliefs of each person here, I invite you into a time of prayer and reflection. Let us pray: 2024-04-10 House Journal Page 2182 God of comfort and protection, it is witnessed in both the Old and New Testaments that nations are judged by the care given to orphans and widows, so I ask that you stir in us a holy zeal to serve those who are in need. Strengthen our resolve to nurture the multitude of children and families in Alaska who face countless challenges at home and at school. Teach us how to be good stewards of the people under our care, and the environment in which we live. May the thoughts we ponder and the words we use be full of charity, truth, and humility. May the work we do inspire a new generation of leaders to take up the mantle of leadership, so that we may prosper as a state, a people, and a nation. I, your servant, offer this prayer in the name of Jesus, Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Groh. * * * * * Representative Saddler introduced Rylee Crum, Guest Page, from Wasilla.
