Our heavenly Father, God of grace and mercy, justice and life, how grateful we are for the privilege of prayer. We thank you for your unconditional love for all creation and acknowledge you today as the ruler of all people and all things. Regardless of our preference of religion, our ethnic background, our political affiliation, or our economic status, we recognize you still have the whole world in your hands. Bless this legislative body of elected officials dutifully serving the people of this great State of Texas. Give them the awareness they need to seek your wisdom and your guidance to be the leaders your people need. As we seek unity, love, and peace in our nation, we pray for our president, congress, and the United States Supreme Court. May they understand the magnitude of their mission while maintaining respect for one another with unity and love. We also pray for the governor of Texas and his cabinet. Direct their path as they seek your counsel for the release of strategic victories in the spirit of service for your people and this state.
We thank you in advance and praise you for what you have done, and we stand with great anticipation for what you are going to do. It will be for your glory and our good. Let your kingdom come and your will be done. Therefore, we submit this petition to you in the name of Jesus Christ, who hung, bled, and died on a rugged cross, was buried, but on the third day rose from the dead. In his name that is neither republican nor democrat, red nor blue, black nor white, conservative nor liberal---in your glorious name, we pray. The Lord bless thee and keep thee. The Lord make his face shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace. Amen.

INTRODUCTION OF GUEST
The chair recognized Representative Allen who introduced Yolanda Ruiz Farrar, wife of James Augusta Farrar, speaking as follows:
I had the real pleasure of attending the going home services for Jessica's father, Mr. James Augusta Farrar. Senfronia and I were there on the same day. And so today, we'd like to memorialize him––it's exactly two years from the date. I filed HR 846 in honor of the memory of the passing of Mr. James Augusta Farrar, father of our dear colleague and my deskmate, Jessica. Joining her today on the dais is Jessica's mom, Mrs. Yolanda Farrar, whom he shared his life with for 54 loving, wonderful years. Mr. Farrar passed away two years ago today at the age of 80. He was born on New Year's Day in 1937 to Dan Hill and Jesse May Hicks Farrar in a small community near Madisonville. Later, moving to Houston, he graduated from Reagan High School. He then studied architecture at The University of Texas at Austin.
Mr. Farrar enjoyed living life. His favorite pastimes were spending time with his family at the beach house in Matagorda County, reminding his children of each other's birthdays, and accepting all last-minute dinner invitations from his kids and his grandkids. And like many of our family members, he supported our colleague Jessica---you can tell he did a good job; Jessica is an awesome representative---every step of the way to her getting here. At this time, I'm going to take a minute to let Jessica say a few words.
Representative Farrar addressed the house, speaking as follows:
I have the best deskmate. Thank you, Dr. Allen. I want to thank all of y'all for your kindness you showed me two years ago. It was a horrible time, and I know many of you are in the same club. I hope your hearts heal. I know this is tough. We're torn and often we're not there when we'd like to be for the people that matter to us the most. Actually, I'm surprised I'm cracking up because it's usually my mom, and I'm giving her tissues and she's perfectly fine. My family––we miss him so much. My dad had five children. We're all so different, and he loved us all uniquely and just had a way of cheering us on. He lived very selflessly. He was always reminding us of each other's birthdays. His great aunt just died, and she lived to be 100. She used to say that my dad was her best "niece" because she could sit on the phone for hours with him just talking about anything. He was a social butterfly. He had many interests, and one of the things that I never forget is the time that he took to teach me different things. The lesson I love the most was that we're never done learning. He learned about computers––started learning about them in the '80s and always stayed on top of technology. Whatever it was we were doing, like sitting in mud in the dawn hours when it's cold and wet––I didn't really care much for killing birds, but I liked being out there with him––he was the best shot ever. He taught us to fish, to hunt, to love the outdoors––just so many things. I'll never be able to thank him.
I always thought he'd always be here; this was the first opening day he wasn't. He was in chemotherapy, and he never let us know how sick he was––but you know, it's tough. He said to me, "Take care of your mom. Take care of your mom." That's all he cared about. That's all he was worried about when he was in the hospital: "Take care of your mom." And I will say, I don't get this from him, but he never had a cross word about other people. He never let––you know how the passage goes––never let the left hand know what the right one is doing. He was a kind, kind man. He managed these architectural projects worth bajillions of dollars, and they said that he led with a velvet glove because he could make people do things, and everybody walked away feeling good, and the project was great. Hopefully, I'll keep trying to learn that one, y'all. I promise you. I want to thank you all so much for your kindness and for your support and offer to be there for you guys as well. I know we are all one family and as we lose one, all of us feel that loss. Thank you all again.
