Rep. Ken Borton, from the 105th District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Lord Jesus, thank You for giving us the privilege and the honor of serving the people of our great state of Michigan. We ask for Your wisdom as we navigate through our daily work.

Help us to press on— not in fear, but in faith.

In scripture, it says that You have not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self‑discipline.

Let us not be ruled by fear and the lies that fear promotes. Evil can only win when we are afraid and do nothing. You have placed us here to represent the people of our districts and to work for them, fight for them, and to do the right thing… even when it is uncomfortable or unpopular.

Let us not stay silent. Give each of us the courage to do this in Your honor.  

We are not here to advance personal agendas; we are here to serve You and the people we represent. Help us remember that as we move forward with courage and confidence in Your promises and truth.

Thank You for giving us this great state of Michigan to live in as free people. Thank You for all of our veterans, especially those who have given their lives to ensure our freedom. They are the ultimate example of living by faith rather than fear. Help us honor their tremendous example of courage by remembering that freedom is never free and by boldly doing the work before us now.

Father, You have told us in Your Word that the first and greatest commandment is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength. The second is equally important: to Love our neighbor as ourselves. No other commandment is greater than these. We simply cannot love each other the way we are commanded without first loving You, Lord Jesus. Help us to remember this every day and to put these ideas into action in how we treat each other. Our faith and love will conquer fear, and it is faith and love we need to complete the work before us.

Our time is short, and our work is important. Let each of us here be able to say to ourselves when our time here serving is finished: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.

In Jesus Name we pray.

Amen.”

 

 

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Cambensy, Steenland, Peterson, Liberati, Coleman, Shannon, Garza, Tate, LaFave, Markkanen, O’Malley, Roth, Borton, Whitsett, Allor, Breen, Haadsma, Hope, Kuppa and Witwer offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 53.

A resolution to declare March 12, 2021, as Spread Goodness Day in the state of Michigan.

Whereas, The idea of Spread Goodness Day was first created in 2017 to inspire a global day of simple goodness by encouraging individuals, schools, and organizations to show the explosive power that one act of goodness multiplied by hundreds, thousands, and maybe millions has to change the world every single day; and

Whereas, In 2017 the launch was created as a global goodness day initiative, founded and headquartered in Marquette, Michigan; and,

Whereas, The people of Michigan rose up to create impactful Spread Goodness Day events and initiatives. The goals of the occasion were a day that individuals, businesses, and schools committed to doing one good thing, celebrating goodness together and a day that proves that one action can change the world; and

Whereas, Public & private schools, from elementary to universities, participate in unique Spread Goodness Day events throughout their communities to create an atmosphere of empowerment worldwide that the simplest acts of goodness change the world every day, to spread goodness, plain and simple, to engage schools, student organizations, businesses and individuals worldwide, and to support grassroots non-profits that help people “survive with goodness” through sponsoring their fundraising events; and

Whereas, U.P resident Anna Dravland founded the non-profit event after experiencing the positive effects of engagement with her community, volunteerism, and social action. Despite suffering a massive stroke just after launching the platform, she has kept the initiative alive through the contagion of goodness sparked in Marquette and spread throughout the world; and

Whereas, On the second Friday of March, we honor the power and simplicity of goodness to change the world and positively impact our communities; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare March 12, 2021, as Spread Goodness Day in the state of Michigan. We encourage residents to uplift our state and inspire the world with acts of goodness.

The question being on the adoption of the resolution,

The resolution was adopted.
