I want to thank my friends, as led by our friend, Congressman Ted Yoho from Florida, and our friend from Georgia, Brother Hice. We heard great comments from Dr. Gosar and our friend, Steve King, from Iowa. These are deeply troubling times, and the Supreme Court taking up United States v. Texas really accentuates that issue. Sometimes it is nice to just pause and pay tribute to folks, for example, a beautiful couple here. It is a pastor. His name is Pastor Jesse Estrada Sabillon and his wife, Maria Sabillon. They are with their granddaughter in this picture. They are a beautiful couple. You can feel the love emanating from the picture. Pastor Jesse Estrada Sabillon was a Baptist minister at Nuevo Amanecer Baptist Church of Houston in the Cloverleaf area. He was an excellent carpenter. He owned a home remodeling business, J J & Sons Remodeling. His wife, Maria,--you can tell she loves her granddaughter--was a retired home caregiver for children with special needs. They were a beautiful couple. Mr. Sabillon never accepted a salary from the church and instead relied upon his job as a carpenter to feed his family. So it appears that Pastor Sabillon was working and acting in the vein of the Apostles Peter and Paul. Particularly Paul didn't want to be a burden to others. So he made tents, sewed, and did whatever he needed to so that he wasn't a burden to others. Instead of being a burden to others, Pastor Sabillon and his wife, Maria, were a blessing to Texas.…
