Journal of the Senate JANUARY 12, 2015 1 Journal of the Senate FIRST DAY SENATE CHAMBER, TOPEKA, KANSAS Monday, January 12, 2015, 2:00 p.m. In accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the State of Kansas and by the virtue of her office as President of the Senate, President Susan Wagle declared the 2015 Senate to be in session. President Wagle welcomed Father Don Davidson, who will again serve as the Senate Chaplain. He delivered the following invocation: Almighty and Creator God, bless this chamber and all who labor herein as a new session begins this day. Help us to know that the eyes of Kansas are upon the work done here and the words said here. From the people of the land and the people of our cities, from industry and shops, from farms and diners, the people are watching. Help our legislators oh God not to be tempted by the scripts of the past, but seek inspiration from you by reaching into their hearts and relying on your gifts of compassion, honesty and forbearance as they meet the days ahead. Help our legislators oh God not to be tempted to do the easy when the difficult is the better, not to be seduced into action without reason or decision without understanding. Keep them safe dear God and grant them the grace to listen and the wisdom for each and every hour. We pray this day in the wonder of your love and the holiness of your Name. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by President Wagle. President Wagle introduced the new Reading Clerk, Kendall Kaut, who is a second year student at the University of Kansas School of Law.
