Madam Speaker, it is my privilege today to introduce and thank Dr. John Cross, who gave the opening prayer. The Senior Pastor at South Biscayne Church in Florida, he represents a county that I'm in, my largest county, Sarasota County, in North Port, our largest city. He is joined by his lovely wife, Dawn, and their five children. As a matter of fact, they are celebrating their anniversary. Dr. Cross is a very innovative, spiritual leader. I've seen him many times on Friday nights in his jeans and T-shirt working with the youth in our community. He's taken a church from 150 people to over 2,000. He has one of the largest churches in our community. He is serving his second term as president of the Southern Baptist Convention. I commend Dr. Cross for his longstanding service, and it is a pleasure to have him and his family today. God bless. ____________________
