Lord, I ask You to bless them and to mark them with Your favor. I pray that You would pour out Your spirit of wisdom to make them wise. At every challenge and opportunity they face, may they have wisdom and knowledge that comes from You.

I pray that You will guard their homes and families. I ask You, Lord, to grant them health and peace in their homes. I ask mostly that they would know You. Today, I ask You to bless them, and give them peace and Your favor.

Lord, as we approach Your throne of grace, which is the only place we can find supernatural help to do all the natural things, we ask all these things. I thank You, Lord, in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Senator Robertson asked and was granted unanimous consent to make a statement and moved that the statement be printed in the Journal.

The motion prevailed.

Senator Robertson’s statement is as follows:

I want to take a moment to introduce my guest and present a tribute to a young man who has been job shadowing me for the last several months, a fine young man, Austin Church. I have a tribute I would like to take a moment to read. I also want to acknowledge the fact that his family, his dad Bob; his mom Laura; his sister Brittany; and his brother Derrick are in the Gallery to witness this tribute presentation this morning.

“LET IT BE KNOWN, That it is a special privilege to acknowledge and honor Austin Church for his interest in the Michigan State Senate and his time spent shadowing State Senator Robertson over the past few months.

Austin’s presence in Senator Robertson’s office has been an impactful one, whether it has been assisting Senator Robertson in meetings or just helping around the office. In meetings with Senator Robertson, Austin has demonstrated his knowledge and enthusiasm for politics and governing through the very insightful questions he asks about each particular issue. We are certain he will be an enormous asset to any organization or effort in which he is involved.

Austin is a bright young man with a thirst for knowledge that shows he has an equally bright future. We are certain Austin will be an enormous asset to any organization or effort in which he chooses to pursue a path of success in. It is not every day that we get to recognize such a fine young man such as Austin, who has routinely demonstrated not only his enthusiasm for politics, but also his overall intelligence as well.

It would not be surprising to see Austin holding political office at some point in the future, as he has many of the traits needed to succeed not only in politics, but life as well. Success in politics, as in life generally, is best described as that point at which an individual’s preparation and opportunity meet. Austin’s preparation and opportunity will undoubtedly meet sooner rather than later.

IN SPECIAL TRIBUTE, Therefore, This document is signed and dedicated to honor Austin Church for his hard work and dedication to expanding his knowledge of the State of Michigan’s legislature. May he and his family know of our admiration and warmest wishes for continued success in every endeavor.”

It is signed by myself and the Governor of the state of Michigan, Rick Snyder. Congratulations, Austin.
