                         EVIDENCE OF GOD'S LOVE

  (Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOYCE of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, as we recognize National 
Bible Week, we have the chance to reflect on the wisdom and guidance 
that the Holy Scripture provides to us as we seek to govern.
  It was Benjamin Franklin who said: I know that my redeemer lives. And 
if a sparrow cannot fall without His knowing, surely an empire cannot 
rise without His aid.
  We see evidence of God's love and providence in so many aspects of 
our American lives. From our military, who have kept our Nation safe, 
to the doctors and researchers who have developed lifesaving medicines 
and cures because they have the freedom to innovate, to the miners, 
rail workers, and manufacturers who have built a strong and prosperous 
country, and to the farmers and producers who till our soil and grow 
the food that we rely on, there is abundant evidence that we are truly 
a blessed Nation.
  May God continue to bless these great United States of America.
