                  WELCOMING REVEREND CHRISTOPHER LEGG

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Moran) 
is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. MORAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a devoted servant of 
the Lord and Savior, my pastor and friend, Chris Legg, of South Spring 
Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas.
  I have known Pastor Legg now for almost a decade. He is a dedicated, 
authentic, and humble shepherd of the flock entrusted to him, and he is 
one of the most insightful teachers of Scripture I have ever 
encountered.
  Every Sunday through his teaching, I am challenged to more closely 
align my heart and my actions with the righteousness of the living God. 
Committed to discipleship, Pastor Legg understands that we are all 
ministers of the Gospel, but he also understands that we are all broken 
people in need of a Savior. If we doubt that, he simply reminds us to 
look in the mirror.
  Whether it is from the pulpit at South Spring, at Alethia Family 
Counseling Center, behind the microphone during his Reconstructed Faith 
podcast, or simply engaging with everyone he meets, Pastor Legg does 
his best to point this lost world to a Savior who loves us each 
unconditionally and who came to bring us eternal life and life more 
abundantly.

  It is my great honor to sponsor Pastor Legg, husband to Ginger, 
father to five, and friend to all, as Guest Chaplain to deliver the 
opening prayer before the United States House of Representatives.
  On behalf of east Texas, I thank Chris and Ginger for their lifetime 
of dedication to the Gospel.
