Dear God, we thank Thee for this beautiful December day here in our State Capitol. We thank Thee for this opportunity to close out the year's legislative session.

When we return in January with renewed spirits to tackle business that did not get completed in this session, we remind ourselves that we not only serve the people of this great state, but more importantly, we are Thy servants. We ask Thy blessings on this session. Amen.
