                 INTRODUCING REVEREND DAVID K. STEWART

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize our guest 
chaplain, Pastor Dave Stewart of Wayne, Michigan. Although Pastor Dave 
is not my constituent, he happens to be the father of my office 
manager, Liz Yeager.
  Pastor Dave is an energetic man who has led a full life. Although he 
began his working career in public service, he decided to pursue a life 
in the ministry at age 34. Since then, Pastor Dave has served seven 
different United Methodist churches throughout Michigan. He is 
currently the senior pastor at First United Methodist Church of Wayne.
  Pastor Dave also has a big heart. Throughout the years he and his 
wife Ellen, son Kirk and daughter Elizabeth have opened their home to 
many friends and adopted family. Pastor Dave's faith in the Lord gives 
him an eternal outlook that encourages him to face each day with energy 
and joy. This is evident in the way he loves those around him.
  Mr. Speaker, it has been my sincere pleasure to have Pastor Dave open 
the House in prayer.
  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
  Mr. BOOZMAN. I yield to the gentleman from Michigan.
  Mr. McCOTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize our guest 
chaplain, Pastor Dave Stewart, who is a constituent of mine, from 
Wayne, Michigan, and I would just like to say he has been a tremendous 
asset to the community, and it has been an honor to have him here 
today.
