“our Founding Father, John Adams, told us, ``Our Constitution was made for moral and religious people and that it is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.'' Mr. Speaker, we are very privileged today to have among us a man, Reverend Timothy Smith. Reverend Smith reminds all of us of our spiritual heritage in this country, and we are greatly bettered because of his presence with us today. This gentleman has been offering spiritual counsel and leadership to Arizona residents for more than 30 years; and from children to senior citizens, thousands of Arizonians have benefited tremendously from the selfless ministry of this man. He has served as chaplain for the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections and has pastored congregations in Sun City and Glendale and is currently offering a very touching and much-needed type of compassion on a daily basis as chaplain of Sun Health Hospice in Sun City. Mr. Speaker, we are indeed blessed to have this man with us because he somehow helps us know in our mortality that there is a high and lofty One that inhabits eternity that watches over all of us, and we are the better for his presence here; and I thank him for his commitment to God, his commitment to his country and his commitment to his fellow man.”
