The guests in the gallery may wish to rise and join us for the invocation and stay standing for the Pledge of Allegiance.”
“Father, we humbly come before You with an open mind, open heart and open will to serve You, a will to honor You, a will to trust You, a will to depend and to rely upon You. So Father, we speak as Your servant David spoke. He spoke of You as a shepherd and because of You he had no wants. I pray that You would be our shepherd today. I pray that You would be our guide, that You would be our protector and that You would be our provider. This we ask in Your Son’s name. Amen.”

“Well, Mr. Speaker, I’m looking around and I’m not a big counter but I noticed that there are a lot of fine Republicans here and a fair number of fine Democrats on the other side of the aisle, but there seems to be a scarcity of them over there and I noticed our fine Majority Leader present, of course. But I’m at a little wondering if there’s an illness or something that causes some vacant chairs over there or something else going on?”
