               WELCOMING REVEREND DR. THOMAS ELLIOTT, JR.

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. 
Woodall) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. WOODALL. Mr. Speaker, it's my great pleasure this morning to 
introduce my colleagues to Dr. Tom Elliott. Not only is he our guest 
chaplain today and the senior pastor at Cannon United Methodist Church 
in Snellville, in my district, he was also my youth minister growing up 
in Decatur, Georgia. For over 30 years, I've known Tom.
  He's here today with his wife, Kelly. He is surrounded in love by his 
daughter, Lucy, and his son, Thomas. He has a love of the Lord, and 
that's a love that he shares in the pulpit on Sunday morning, and a 
love that you can find expressed in music at coffeehouses around the 
district in his Wild at Heart band nights during the week.
  It's my great pleasure to have Tom with us today. I thank you for 
your service to our community, Tom, and I thank you for your service to 
the Lord.
