Journal of the Senate

ELEVENTH DAY
______
Senate Chamber, Topeka, Kansas
Tuesday, January 26, 1999--2:30 p.m.
 The Senate was called to order by Vice-President Alicia L. Salisbury.

 The roll was called with forty senators present.

  Vice-President Salisbury introduced Senator Stan Clark, who delivered the invocation:

      Father,

        Help me to slow down and take time for you.

        To realize that you are not here for me,

        but that I am here for you.
        Give me the wisdom to separate the significant from the superficial,

        The eternal from the urgent.
        Give me wisdom as I struggle with voting for bills that replace inner moral conviction
      with external statutory power.

        Help me to understand that my purpose is not to establish a moral society,

        But to glorify you.
        Father, I pray that through each of our lives, our faithfulness to you will be reflected in
      our culture.

        Guide and direct our thoughts, our words and our actions as we serve the citizens of
      our state.

        I ask this in Jesus' name, Amen
