  • Number 1, 01/09/2019
    No. 1 STATE OF MICHIGAN Journal of the Senate 100th Legislature REGULAR SESSION OF 2019 Senate Chamber, Lansing, Wednesday, January 9, 2019. 12:00 noon. In conformity with the requirements of the Constitution of the state of Michigan, the Senators of the 100th Legislature of the state of Michigan assembled in the Senate Chamber in the Capitol at Lansing this day (being the second Wednesday of January 2019), at twelve o’clock noon, and were called to order by the President, Lieutenant Governor Garlin D. Gilchrist II. Pastor Kerby Fannin of Word of Promise Church of Addison offered the following invocation: Dear Heavenly Father, Yahweh, You have made this day and we thank You for it. Now we thank You for this moment for which You have brought us here to begin a new session in this chamber. We thank You for Your love and forgiveness, and we pray that we can pass on that same kind of love and forgiveness to others. Many of us are wise in our own eyes because of our own worldview. It convinces us that our thoughts are right. However, true wisdom comes from You and is given to those that hear counsel. Out of Your mouth comes knowledge and understanding. If we can remember that Your ways are higher than our ways and Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts, then we will seek Your counsel in the decisions that we make. You speak to us in many ways, including through those from whom we would least expect to hear Your words. However, we can only hear them when we receive them in a spirit of meekness, recognizing that we’re all imperfect beings, considering that the faults we see in others may be also found in ourselves.
