  • STATE of ILLINOIS 94Th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE
    STATE OF ILLINOIS 94th GENERAL ASSEMBLY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TRANSCRIPTION DEBATE 48th Legislative Day 5/10/2005 Speaker Madigan: “The House shall come to order. The Members shall be in their chairs. We ask the Members and our guests in the gallery to turn off their laptop computers, cell phones, and pagers and we ask the guests in the gallery to rise and join us for the invocations and the Pledge of Allegiance. We shall have two invocations today. First, we shall be led in prayer by Dr. Cheryl Armstrong of the Fresh Harvest Church in Woodstock, Illinois. Dr. Armstrong is the guest of Representative Franks.” Reverend Armstrong: “Good afternoon. These are words by John Adams, the President of the United States. ‘Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand.’ I want to read you now the word of the Lord from Proverbs, Chapter 8. ‘Listen as wisdom calls out, hear as understanding raises her voice. I, wisdom, live together with good judgment. I know where to discover knowledge and discernment. Good advice and success belong to Me. Insight and strength are Mine. Because of Me, kings reign and rulers make just laws. Rulers lead with My help and nobles make righteous judgments. I love all who love Me. Those who search for Me will surely find Me. Unending riches, honor, wealth, and justice are Mine to distribute. My gifts are better than the purest gold. My wage is better than sterling silver.
