"The House will be in order. Members will be in their chairs. We shall be led in prayer today by Pastor Shaun Lewis, who is the Illinois State Director of Capitol Commissions, serving the political Leaders of Illinois. Members and guests are asked to refrain from starting their laptops, turn off all cell phones, and rise for the invocation and Pledge of Allegiance. Pastor Lewis."
"Thank you. Well, if you will bow with me in prayer. Father, in heaven, Your word says that in all things we're to give thanks. And so, we stand at the beginning of the 98th General Assembly and thank You for each one whom You have placed here. It's always tempting to see what our government isn't and what it doesn't do and complain about that and that's ultimately a complaint against You. But I thank You, Lord, for what our government is, for the opportunities it does provide, for the freedoms we enjoy even the freedom to open the Session in prayer. Bless the Members of the 98th General Assembly, give them humility and wisdom, strength and courage to do what is honorable in Your sight. May they be… may they be a blessing to the State of Illinois. May they not do what is right in their own eyes but look always to You. In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen."
"We are led in the Pledge today by Representative Sue Scherer."

"Leader Feigenholtz moves for the adoption of the Adjournment Resolution. Those in favor say 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. And the Adjournment Resolution is adopted. Members, may I have your attention? We're going to adjourn shortly, but I would like to give you the game plan. This is mostly a game plan for the Democratic side of the aisle. Upon adjournment, the Clerk will call Democratic Members in order of seniority for office assignments and parking spaces, but please do not leave because there will be a Democratic Caucus in Room 114 when that task is completed. I want to repeat that. There will be a Democratic Caucus in Room 114 after all of the Democrats have received their office assignments and parking spaces. For freshmen Members who don't know where Room 114 is, it's on the first floor, you'll find it. Ask somebody, they'll point it out to you. And now, seeing no further business before the House, allowing perfunctory time for the Clerk, Leader Feigenholtz moves that the House stand adjourned 'til Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 12 noon in this chamber. Those in favor say 'yes'; opposed 'no'. The 'ayes' have it. And the House stands adjourned 'til January 30 at noon. Have a good couple of weeks, everybody.
