                 WELCOMING REVEREND DR. EZEKIEL PIPHER

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. 
Smith) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. SMITH of Nebraska. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce Dr. 
Zeke Pipher, who will serve as our guest chaplain today. Zeke earned 
his Master of Divinity from Talbot School of Theology and his Doctor of 
Ministry from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He is the senior 
pastor at Heartland Evangelical Free Church in Central City, Nebraska.
  In addition to his work in the ministry, he is an avid outdoorsman 
and author. His first book, ``Man on the Run: Helping Hyper-Hobbied Men 
Recognize the Best Things,'' was released last year; and he is a 
regular contributor to several national outdoor magazines. He and his 
wife, Jamie, have three children and live in central Nebraska.
  And, importantly, his favorite football team is the Nebraska 
Cornhuskers. It is my honor to welcome Dr. Pipher.
