Little, senior pastor, First Presbyterian Church, San Antonio, who offered the invocation as follows: Gracious and loving God, in this moment of quietness, we pause not to escape the realities of our day, but instead to acknowledge that being "one nation under God" is part of the fabric of our society. Therefore, we humbly invite you to guide and instruct us as we navigate our way through the waters of life. Faithful Lord, on this Memorial Day, we would be remiss if we did not lift up to you the many men and women who have served and are serving in our military. Lord, we give you thanks for their zeal for service as well as their incredible sacrifice. Undoubtedly, their sacrifice is costlyÐfamilies have been separated, childhoods shortened, and countless lives have been lost. And yet, their costly sacrifice has resulted in a priceless gift of freedom that stirs our hearts 5394 83rd LEGISLATURE Ð REGULAR SESSION to joyfully proclaim, "My country, tis' of the, sweet land of liberty." Therefore, loving God, we ask that you will continue to pour out your peace that surpasses all human understanding on all those who serve our state and our country, and also comfort those who continue to grieve the loss of loved ones. Dear God, as these servants gather here today as the Texas House of Representatives, we pray that they may live securely in your grace; that they may be guided by your providence; that they will be filled with your wisdom and strength; and most of all, that they, even in the midst of differing opinions, will embody the humility of the one who did not cling to his position of power, but humbled himself to serve the poor, the oppressed, and the hopeless. May they use their authority to promote the general welfare of all of us who call the great State of Texas home. Lord, we humbly call upon your name to heal where there is brokenness; to comfort where there is pain; to bring reconciliation where there is separation; to provide peace where there is anxiety; to stir up courage where there is fear; and most of all, to rain your grace down upon all who are gathered here this day, that they may be filled with your joy to be the people you have called them to be. Now, Lord God, may you relentlessly bother us and challenge us; may you set an impossible task before us and dare us to meet it; may you give us strength and courage to do our best; open our eyes that we may see; give us ears to listen for your will and discipline to do it; and remind us that it is not how many breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away. Indeed, we are "one nation under God." In the name of the one who is "the way, the truth, and the life," we pray. Amen.

  • February 3, 2021 Honorable Members of the Texas Delegation: As Texas
    February 3, 2021 Honorable Members of the Texas Delegation: As Texas combats the third and largest surge of the COVID-19 pandemic, we once again write to request that Congress provide direct and flexible fiscal assistance to local governments of all sizes. Texas cities need help to continue to address the pandemic and its economic and social impacts and to weather budget shortfalls that we face through no fault of our own. The budget calamity looming over local governments is real and requires extraordinary measures. As the numbers recently released by Comptroller Hegar illustrate, Texas is not immune from this pain. He reports that December 2020 general fund tax revenues were 9.26% below December 2019’s figures. Please note that these numbers do not include delayed property tax revenue losses, the primary source of local government revenue in Texas. Property taxes are always a lagging economic indicator, and we therefore fear that it will be some time before our revenues rebound from the pandemic.
