The speaker the house will be in order. The prayer will be offered by the guest chaplain, pastor ethan magness, First Christian church, johnson city, tennessee. The chaplain let us pray. Gracious god. We come to you in need of your sovereign love for your power exceeds our human power. Your authority exceeds all human authority. Your government will stand when all human government have passed into history. We come to you in confession of our weakness and sin. For we have sought too often our own power. We have fought too selfishly for our own glory. We have clung too tightly to our desire and to our faction and our plan. We come to you seeking the strength to repent. Turn us to your wisdom instead of our own. Turn us to honesty instead of falsehood. Turn us to humility and service instead of pride and selfseeking. We come to you for a blessing. Like jacob, we cling to you and will not let go until you have blessed us for you are good and gracious and loving and in you we put our trust.

I think you would have to receive some material dismantling of the Nuclear Iranian program. We had an unusual event about a week in africa. Africa. The first of a chemical israel and the iranians agreed on an aspect of the Iranian Nuclear program. Israeli spokespeople and iranian spokespeople both came out and said that president obamas claim that parts of the Iranian Nuclear program had been dismantled, as an interim agreement was not true.
