                      WELCOMING PASTOR RYAN HODGES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentlewoman from 
North Carolina (Ms. Foxx) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize 
today's guest chaplain, Pastor Ryan Hodges of Rocky Face Baptist Church 
in Hiddenite, North Carolina.
  In 2005, Pastor Hodges earned his theology degree from Cherry Grove 
Baptist Bible College in Wilkesboro. He has since served in four 
churches in our State, wherever God has called him to use his gift of 
preaching and zeal for souls. He is also a loving husband and father.
  Mr. Speaker, the surest way to make a positive change in our country 
is to follow God's will for our lives, which is itself a lifetime's 
work.
  North Carolina's Fifth District is blessed to have a faithful servant 
in Pastor Hodges, dedicated to helping others recognize God's love and 
plan for them. We are blessed to have his prayers and service today, as 
is everyone that God places in his life.
