REPRESENTATIVE RANDY WEBER: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, members and distinguished guests; this morning it is my pleasure to introduce my pastor from First Baptist Church in Pearland to pray us in this morning. I will tell you three things about Sonny Foraker. Number one, he's retired from the Navy 22 years. Can y'all give him a hand? He is a defender of our freedom. Second thing, he's a defender of the fatherless. He's extremely strong in the pro-life movement. For that, I personally thank you. And third and finally, probably one of his best calling cards is he's a defender of the faith, he's a dedicated faithful follower of the Lord Jesus Christ since he got saved back in naval days. He's been my -- he's been in the Navy for 22 years, my pastor for 11 years. I'm not sure which was tougher. Please welcome Pastor Sonny Foraker. Pastor: Thank you, Brother Randy. Let's gather our hearts together in prayer. Loving Heavenly Father, Almighty God, we come together asking for your blessing and your help as we are gathered together as your servants. We pray for guidance in the matters at hand, ask that you would clearly show each of these legislators how to conduct their work with spirit and cooperation, enthusiasm and diligence. Give each the desire to find ways to excel in their work and that they will encourage each other to excellence. Father, we ask that you help us to challenge each other to reach higher and further, to be the best we can be for this great State of Texas, our country, and for our Kingdom. Lord, may the matters that are discussed serve as a catalyst to move us forward and cause us to advance and see proper growth in all areas of the lives of Texans. I ask this on behalf of these men and women who serve our great state. In the name of Our Lord Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
