One Minute Speech Given in Recognition of the Guest Chaplain:

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank our guest chaplain, Pastor David Mason, for his opening prayer on May 10th. I've had the pleasure of knowing David for quite some time, as he serves as Pastor at my home church, Walnut Valley Baptist in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

David and his wife, Aamie, who serves as a family counselor, are dear friends of mine who have a heart for sharing the gospel and ministering not only inside the church building but in the community with individuals wherever there is a need.

David and Aamie have been faithful servants and leaders for many years. It was a pleasure to host them in D.C. this week.

I, along with others in Arkansas' Fourth Congressional District, are grateful to Pastor Mason and his wife Aamie for their servant hearts and their obedience in serving God.

Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:

Father, we seek You today in the name of Jesus whom You have given to us as the mediator, that we would experience the truth of Your salvation. We put our trust in You because of Your steadfast love and faithfulness. Therefore, we plead with You to make Your name holy in our Nation and our world. In all matters, we ask You to accomplish Your will in this House of Representatives and among its Members, that by Your authority, You would bring about peace. We beg of You to guard hearts against jealousy and selfish ambition and grant Your impartial wisdom.
 
Now to You who are able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to You be the glory among the nations and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.  Amen.
