Chris and Danielle do a whirlwind tour of yesterday's wins, what happened today & big ticket legislative items on the horizon. The time crunch is on, because the Regular Session ends on Thursday, June 8th. So these important good and bad bills have a limited time to move through the House and Senate for votes. SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:

For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. - 2 Chronicles 16:9a

The Lord sees all we do; he watches over his friends day and night. His godly ones receive the answers they seek whenever they cry out to him. But the Lord has made up his mind to oppose evildoers and to wipe out even the memory of them from the face of the earth.” - Psalm 34:15-16

Don’t allow the actions of evil men to cause you to burn with anger. Instead, burn with unrelenting passion as you worship God in holy awe. Your future is bright and filled with a living hope that will never fade away. - Proverbs 23:17-18
