Rep. Ken Sikkema, from the 74th District, offered the following invocation:
"Lord we come to You today, as we prepare to do the people's business, with a humble and a contrite heart and spirit. We know that we have fallen short of Your expectations of us, and we ask forgiveness for that. We have in mind today our friends and neighbors who have suffered because of the recent storms in Michigan, we ask that You will help us help them. We also want to thank You for the blessings we have of living in a representative democracy. Let us always remember the freedoms we enjoy. With few exceptions we have all been born and raised in this country, and we simply are not aware or understand how important those freedoms are and how truly unique they are. Help us to always keep that in mind, and in the present and in the future strive to maintain those liberties. This we ask in Your Name, Amen."
______
Rep. Hammerstrom moved that Rep. Brackenridge be excused from today's session.
