WELCOMING REVEREND DR. EZEKIEL PIPHER
The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr.
Smith) is recognized for 1 minute.
There was no objection.
Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce Dr.
Zeke Pipher, who will serve as our guest chaplain today. Zeke earned
his Master of Divinity from Talbot School of Theology and his Doctor of
Ministry from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He is the senior
pastor at Heartland Evangelical Free Church in Central City, Nebraska.
In addition to his work in the ministry, he is an avid outdoorsman
and author. His first book, ``Man on the Run: Helping Hyper-Hobbied Men
Recognize the Best Things,'' was released last year; and he is a
regular contributor to several national outdoor magazines. He and his
wife, Jamie, have three children and live in central Nebraska.
And, importantly, his favorite football team is the Nebraska
Cornhuskers. It is my honor to welcome Dr. Pipher.
