JOURNAL OF THE HOUSE First Regular Session, 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY __________________________ NINTH DAY, Monday, January 25, 2021 The House met pursuant to adjournment. Speaker Vescovo in the Chair. Prayer by Representative Brad Hudson. Father, as we come to You today, may we do so with grateful hearts. Having been selected by our neighbors to represent their interests in state government is an honor we should never take for granted. As we make decisions, shape policy, and conduct business, may we do so remembering the counsel given in Your Word, "Be ye wise as serpents and harmless as doves." May we work tirelessly and stand fearlessly for what we know to be right all while extending to everyone, including our opponents, the courtesy and respect that they deserve. Please bless our staff, our members, our Speaker, and God bless the great state of Missouri. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. And the House says, "Amen!"
