Invocation by Senator Nick Jordan:
Father, we come to you today with humble hearts acknowledging our dependence
on you and each others counsel.
Please grant us discernment to know right from wrong, and as we face complex
issues may we find properly balanced solutions.
As your scripture says, let us bind kindness and truth around our necks . . . (tri-stars)at
we may be kind in our deliberations and hold on to the truth.
We continue to ask your blessings upon our state. Thank you for your grace, mercy
and watchful care.
In Christ's name I pray. Amen.
