With the deepest respect for the religious beliefs of all Alaskans, I offer the following prayer. When the divine word ended chaos and nothingness, when God rolled away darkness from light, that was the first moment of creation. When Adam opened his eyes and beheld earth and heaven, that was a moment of creation as real as the first, for the sun is not bright without an eye to see, the waves of the sea cannot crash and roar without an ear to listen. 2501

2 2502 March 31, 2008 Though we are finite, God created us both free and conscious, able to share in the power of creation. Every moment that we work for good is a moment of creation. Our Creator, let each dawn rise fresh with hope as it was in the beginning. Inspire us to create what is good and quicken our delight in all that you create. Amen. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Nelson.
