Mr. Brewer: Let us be in an attitude of prayer. Father God, we come to You today with a heart of thanksgiving. We thank You for the freedom we enjoy as a country and a people and the celebration of our independence that we experienced yesterday once again.
We thank you for the freedom to conduct this County's business in an open forum such as this. We thank you for the blessings of life, and today, the blessing of the rain that sustains our life.
Father, today we pray for our men and women in uniform that protect our
freedom. We pray for the Court and Commissioners in the business of the people
of the County being conducted. We pray for each other for the daily blessings
you provide to each and every one of us. In the name of the Father, the Son and
the Holy Spirit. Amen.
