Journal of the Senate

FIFTY-FOURTH DAY
______
Senate Chamber, Topeka, Kansas
Monday, March 27, 2000--12:00 Noon
 The Senate was called to order by President Dick Bond.

 The roll was called with thirty-eight senators present.

 Senators Bleeker and Vidricksen were excused.

 President Bond introduced as guest chaplain, Rev. Roger Alford, Pastor, New Salem
Baptist Church, Winfield, Missouri, who delivered the invocation:

      Our Father,

           We come before you with grateful hearts, for this is the day the Lord has made; we
      will rejoice and be glad in it. As we see nature bursting forth into Spring, we are reminded
      of Your power and creativity. Thank You also for the new life that we can have as we
      trust in Your Son, Jesus. We praise You that You created this world and that we did not
      evolve from some cosmic slime. Thank You that You made each of us special and unique,
      while we were yet in our mother's womb, and that we are precious in Your sight. Thank
      You that You put us into the loving care of a mom and dad. We praise You for creating
      the first family of Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

           Lord, we thank You for not leaving us to our own finite minds, but gave us Your law
      in the Holy Bible as the standard by which to govern ourselves. Thank You for making
      us moral beings with a sense of right and wrong and absolute truth.

           And now, Father, we pray for this august body of senators. May they take confidence
      in the fact that You are the One who allows them to have their authority. May this fact
      also inspire them to handle their position wisely and to seek to follow Your ways, knowing
      that this will be best for the populace. As Your Word says, ``Blessed is the nation whose
      God is the Lord.''

           And, Lord Jesus, I would be remiss to close this prayer without remembering those
      unspoken requests here today. You know the personal concerns and burdens that each
      person here is dealing with right now. For those with health problems, may they find You
      to be the Great Physician. For those who are grieving, may they find you to be the
      Comforter. For those chained to some addiction, may they find You to be the Deliverer.
      For those needing guidance for a decision, may they find you to be Wisdom. For those
      who are lost in sin may they find you to be Savior. For those who are lonely, may they
      find You to be Friend. For those in financial need, may they find You to be Provider.
      And for all of us, may we find You to be the Answer, for indeed You are the King of
      Kings and Lord of Lords! And in Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
