HONORING DR. NEHEMIAH DAVIS' 50TH ANNIVERSARY AS PASTOR OF MOUNT PISGAH 
                       MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Reverend Nehemiah 
Davis on his 50th anniversary as pastor of the historic Mount Pisgah 
Baptist Church. The church is in my hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, 
located on Evans Avenue, on the historical South Side.
  While this year marks Dr. Davis' 50th year as pastor of Mount Pisgah, 
I would also like to congratulate him on his installation as president 
of the National Missionary Baptist Convention of America.
  Pastor Davis' dedication to the church and to his community is 
exceeded only by his devotion to his wife, Dorothy Nell Cole Davis, and 
his two daughters, Carol Michelle Davis Jackson and Nina Caron Davis, 
who have given Dr. Davis two grandkids.
  Mr. Speaker, Pastor Davis has lived his entire life giving service to 
the community and preaching the faith, and he wanted everyone here to 
know today that out of all the things that he has accomplished over his 
lifetime, that he is also very proud of his domino-playing skills.
  I ask my distinguished colleagues of the 113th Congress to join me in 
honoring Pastor Davis on his 50th anniversary as pastor of Mount Pisgah 
Missionary Baptist Church, as well as an exemplary life of service.
