Journal of the Senate

SECOND DAY
______
Senate Chamber, Topeka, Kansas
Tuesday, January 12, 1999-2:30 p.m.
       The Senate was called to order by President Dick Bond.

 The roll was called with thirty-nine senators present.

 Senator Jones was excused.

 Invocation by Chaplain Fred S. Hollomon:

     
       Heavenly Father,

         Today we pray for Governor Graves

       Who starts a brand new term.

       We pray he'll guide our ship of state

       With a hand that's sure and firm.

         Give him wisdom and good health;

       May the years be kind to him.

       Fill his term with great success

       And blessings to the brim.

         On a lighter note, Lord....

       I've heard that Minnesota folks

       Are wearing shirts which read,

       ``Our governor can beat your governor'',

       And that we might concede.

         But if they should run a marathon,

       Our governor we would choose,

       For it's certain that would be one match

       Ventura would surely lose.

         But, seriously, O God, we pray

       That our Governor Bill

       Will be found faithfully

       Seeking to do Your will.

         I ask this in Jesus' Name,

         AMEN
