Madam President, I rise this morning to thank our distinguished guest Chaplain, Dr. Benny Tate, of Milner, GA, who has brought us an inspirational message with which to begin our day.

When Dr. Tate began preaching at Rock Springs Church, only 20 people came to worship on a given Sunday. Today, Dr. Benny Tate preaches to more than 4,000 people on any given Sunday. Rock Springs Church is now the largest church in the Congregational Methodist denomination. Dr. Tate is the kind of pastor who finds creative ways to go out to the community and spread the word of God. He hosts the ``Apples of Gold'' radio program, reaching out to central Georgians through 15 radio stations. He has worked with local civic organizations, leading his flock by example. He served as the Chappell Mill Fire Station Chaplain and as a Georgia Youth Camp board member, just to name a couple of his activities. He has also written three books as well as pieces for the local Griffin Daily News. One of his books has been read by both my wife and myself and has a very unique and very appropriate title called ``Happy Wife, Happy Life.'' All of us males have a great appreciation for that title.
