                          Tuesday, May 1, 2007

  Mr. WAMP. Madam Speaker, today I rise in tribute to a special life 
that ended this week after 97 years of service to the Lord Jesus 
Christ. Dr. Lee Roberson, longtime pastor of the Highland Park Baptist 
Church and founder and Chancellor Emeritus of Tennessee Temple 
University in Chattanooga, Tennessee, persevered in faith for years to 
reach the world, teach and preach the Gospel and inspire generations to 
be bold in their work for the Lord here on earth. Dr. Roberson made 
significant contributions to all aspects of our society and leaves a 
great legacy of service to others for all in our nation to follow.
  In his presence, you felt as though you were with Moses himself. 
Steadfast and deliberate, Dr. Lee Roberson made a mark on this world 
and lifted up the Kingdom of God. Rarely will you meet a man who made a 
greater impact on the world around him than Dr. Roberson. We stand on 
his shoulders at the foot of his Savior's cross thanking God for his 
life and knowing that heaven will be even more glorious when we meet 
him there. We celebrate his 97 years of life.
