 YOUTH AND VITALITY DEMONSTRATED IN YOUTH OF GREEN ACRES BAPTIST CHURCH

  (Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Speaker, the London bombings were indeed tragic. 
They bring us back to what really matters. We saw the resolve of the 
British people after the attack. Life would go on.
  Here in America, we have been so deeply blessed, and just as the 
words above the Speaker's head say, in God we do trust. I have been 
reminded today why we do what we do; why we try to make a difference, 
why we push on and try to make this a better place.
  There are 144 members of my church, my youth choir and sponsors, that 
have come in today, and with the vitality, the youth, the enthusiasm, 
the wanting to make a difference, it lifts me up, and I would encourage 
all of you to be lifted up by the hope that springs eternal in their 
breasts.
  Mr. Speaker, God has blessed America, and with the youth and vitality 
as demonstrated in Green Acres Baptist Church, I know that we will in 
the future be blessed by God.
