"'Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.' Psalms 19:14
SHALL WE PRAY,
Father-Mother God, which fills all space,
Guard us and guide us.
Help us to know that we, Your children, are made in Your image and likeness.
That we all reflect Your Love, Your forgiveness and Your goodness.
We open up our hearts and fill them with joy and thanksgiving to enable us to love our neighbors as ourselves and to do unto others as we would have them do unto us.
Grant us the capacity to change for the better and the will to do our part to accomplish that change. We thank You for Your grace and everlasting love. Amen."

House Resolution No. 191.
A resolution recognizing May 2006 as Hearing Loss Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, Currently 31 million Americans have hearing loss. As baby boomers reach retirement age, starting in 2010, this number is expected to rapidly climb and nearly double by the year 2030; and
Whereas, It is estimated that 1.4 million people in the state of Michigan have hearing loss; and
Whereas, Among seniors, hearing loss is the third most treatable disabling condition behind arthritis and hypertension; and
Whereas, While 95 percent of people with hearing loss could be successfully treated with hearing aids and listening devices, only 22 percent currently use them; and
Whereas, Everyday approximately 3 in 1,000 newborns are born profoundly deaf or with a partial hearing loss making hearing loss the number one birth defect in America; and
Whereas, Hearing loss can greatly hinder everyday, ordinary communication, and people with a hearing loss often feel a sense of isolation and decreased self-confidence; and
Whereas, It is important that people with hearing loss in the state of Michigan be aware that there are many disability organizations, audiologists and hearing professionals, assistive listening device manufacturers, and support groups that offer a large range of solutions to help people with hearing loss; now, therefore, be it further
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body recognize May 2006 as Hearing Loss Awareness Month in the state of Michigan.
Pending the reference of the resolution to a committee,
Rep. Ward moved that Rule 77 be suspended and the resolution be considered at this time.
The motion prevailed, 3/5 of the members present voting therefor.
The question being on the adoption of the resolution,
The resolution was adopted.
