Well worn Bible headed to Washington



2016-11-12 - Tompkinsville, KY - Photo by James Comer, shared by Tiffany Kessler.
"The very last thing I packed before I fly out to DC today was my Mom's Bible to be used for my swearing-in. It was given to her by her pastor at the time, Bro. Stanley Craig at First Baptist Church in Tompkinsville in 1972, right before I was born. Mom carried it with her to every service, revival, and Sunday School class that I can remember. I just opened it up and found a note that she had written that said: "To whom much is given much is required." I had to Google that to find that it is from Luke 12:48. That is a pretty powerful message for me to remember as I take office in Congress on Monday." -- James Comer as he prepares to take his new job as Kentucky's new 1st District Congressman.

2016-11-13 - Tompkinsville, KY - Photo from Tiffany Hadley Kessler.

Tiffany Kessler, Columbia, KY, writes, "Here's a photo of the Comer family after the winning numbers were announced on election night at the celebration in Tompkinsville. From left areU.S.Representative-elect James 'Jamie' Comer, and wife TJ, with children Aniston, Harlan, and Reagan. The week is a whirlwind for the new Congressman. He also won two elections, one for the unexpired term of Rep. Ed Whitfield, the second for a full term. He'll be sworn in ceremony tomorrow night, at 4:30pmCT/5:30pmET, Monday, November 14, 2016, in the U.S. House of Representatives Chamber by Speaker Paul Ryan for the unexpired term. He is busy now organizing the new office staff, to provide a continuity of service to the people of the KY First U.S. Congressional District. That's a task that usually takes two to three months for newly elected U.S. Representatives, but must be done in a few days in this situation. Eddie, Kasey, and I hope you'll add your prayers for him during these exciting but tiring days."
