Pursuant to the report of the Joint-Select Committee, the Senate convened with the House
of Representatives in the House Chamber for the purpose of receiving a budget message from
the Governor, M. Michael Rounds. The President of the Senate, Dennis Daugaard, presided.
The following prayer was delivered by Pastor Susan Carr, Pierre/Ft. Pierre Ministerial Association:
We know that You are always present with us, but we often do not stop from our own
agendas and plans to listen to You. And so, we ask that You would make us mindful that our
work here is not for our own power or prestige, it is not for our own party, but rather that we are
here, entrusted with the high calling of serving this state and its people. Keep us humble we
pray.
We come before You now with hearts and minds that are full of anxiety and uncertainty.
Teach us again not to be afraid; but to trust that if You have brought us to a place, You will see
us through it. Make us leaders that are more interested in the public interest than in our own
self-interests. Keep us faithful as stewards entrusted with this public duty to care for the citizens
and the land and resources and institutions of this state.
We pray this day for our new President, Barack Obama, and we pray that You will protect
and guide him with wisdom and courage. We pray for those who represent us in Washington,
DC, that they may build bridges where possible and seek the public good. We pray for Governor
Rounds and for the difficult decisions that he has had to struggle with in these days and that he
may find strength in You as he seeks to present and secure a budget that will meet the needs of
this state. We pray for each member who will have to make difficult decisions in the days ahead.
We pray and give thanks for the staff who offer their support to this work. Keep us always
patient with each other and forgiving.
O God, we do not ask for easy lives, but for strength to live up to the challenge of this new
day. We do not ask for the mountain to be taken away, but for courage to climb it together. So
go before us now, O God, empower your servants in their calling. In hope and in patience we
pray. Amen.

is supreme, that justice must be dispensed, and that only by eternal vigilance and unrelenting
effort can self-government of a people be preserved; and
WHEREAS, it is fitting that we humbly honor the memory of those who have thus
contributed to the orderly process of government under the Constitution:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Senate and the House of
Representatives of the Eighty-fourth Session of the Legislature of the State of South Dakota

the interests of the State of South Dakota, as well as the rectitude of thought and action and
fidelity to the highest principles of American citizenship by these honorable people, that the
Senate and the House of Representatives do now pause in their labors out of respect for the
memory of their late fellow associates in the functions of government, and note that in their
passing, the state they have served so well has suffered a distinct loss, and though their
labors have ceased and they have been laid to rest, the people of this great state have
benefitted greatly from the services rendered by them and they have left upon the sands of
time an inspiring record of devotion to their fellow citizens under the guiding hand of
Almighty God; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution be printed in the Journals of the
Senate and the House of Representatives of the Eighty-fourth Session of the Legislature of
the State of South Dakota, now assembled this 22nd day of January, 2009, at Pierre, South
