                        RECOGNIZING ALAN LOVING

  (Mr. GUEST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GUEST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and to encourage my 
longtime friend, Alan Loving. Alan serves as pastor for students and 
families at First Baptist Church of Madison.
  Alan has dedicated his life as a minister of the Gospel and has 
impacted countless lives for eternity during his many years of service 
as a youth minister.
  Recently, Alan suffered a life-changing accident that has left him 
paralyzed from the waist down. We praise God for Alan's continued 
recovery and rehabilitation.
  God's word tells us in Proverbs, ``As iron sharpens iron, so one man 
sharpens another.''
  Throughout this journey, Alan and his family have been an inspiration 
to me and so many others throughout our community. We have been 
sharpened by his strength and his faithfulness.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to let Alan know that Mississippi loves him 
and his family. We are praying for him; his wife, Courtney; his 
daughters, Mary Addison and Anna Claire. We are inspired by his 
determination and faith.
