                       WELCOMING DR. TED TRAYLOR

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Florida (Mr. 
Miller) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. MILLER of Florida. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to welcome to the 
House today Dr. Ted Traylor, who has been the pastor at Olive Baptist 
Church since 1990. His weekly radio and television ministry, ``At the 
Heart of Things,'' reaches thousands of homes along the Gulf Coast and 
through weekly podcasts and streaming. Dr. Traylor's bold and practical 
preaching brings people to a fresh understanding of God's Word and 
challenges them to become bondservants for Christ.
  He is known for his uncompromising stand on Biblical issues and 
strong defense of the Christian faith. He has preached extensively 
throughout the United States in conferences and revivals. Emanuel 
University in Oradea, Romania, has honored him by placing his name on 
the chair of Pastoral Leadership.
  Dr. Traylor's family is his proudest accomplishment. He has been 
married to his beautiful wife, Liz, for 38 years. They have two 
children, Rachel and Bennett. Rachel is married to Brad Hinote, and 
they have two daughters, Kathryn and Elizabeth.
