stage platform for the Community Christian Church; additionally, he |
|

|

in diving; he is a junior deacon at Community Christian Church; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Eagle Scout Ballinger's dedication to excellence |
|
|
and his perseverance in the pursuit of his goals have proven him |
|
|
worthy to stand among scouting's elite, and he may indeed reflect |
|
|
with pride on a job well done; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
