Dear Lord. Thank you for the Honorable Don Morgan. Thank you for his
attention to Saskatchewan challenges both in his years in opposition and now in

to get things done. May the people around him be constantly amazed at his
strategic forethought and how well he leads. Bless his wife Sandy for the
sacrifices she has made and bless their marriage with a growing intimacy and
spiritual centre. Amen.
