	H.R. No. 930



	R E S O L U T I O N

	WHEREAS, Byron Johnson of Waco has been named the 2013 Big
	Brother of the Year by Big Brothers Big Sisters Lone Star; and
	WHEREAS, Dedicated to helping young people reach their
	potential, BBBS Lone Star serves more than 30,000 children in over
	100 Texas counties; the program pairs children, "littles," with
	screened volunteer mentors, "bigs," and monitors and supports these
	relationships as they develop; and
	WHEREAS, Dr. Johnson, the director of the Institute for
	Studies of Religion at Baylor University, has served as a big
	brother to Blake West for more than four years; his efforts have
	contributed to Blake's success in school, and he has encouraged
	Blake to set his sights on college; moreover, thanks in part to
	Dr. Johnson's guidance, Blake is working toward his goal of a
	career in law enforcement by volunteering as a member of the junior
	police academy; and
	WHEREAS, Having studied factors related to youth behavior in
	his research, Dr. Johnson believes in the power of organizations
	such as Big Brothers Big Sisters, and as he and his wife prepared
	for an empty nest, he decided to get involved; today, he is an
	enthusiastic recruiter for BBBS on the Baylor campus, where in
	addition to leading the institute, he is a distinguished professor
	of the social sciences and directs the Program on Prosocial
	Behavior; and
	WHEREAS, Byron Johnson has demonstrated outstanding
	commitment to his little brother in Big Brothers Big Sisters and to
	the goals of the program, and in so doing, he serves as a source of
	inspiration to all who know him; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
	Legislature hereby congratulate Byron Johnson on being named the
	2013 Big Brother of the Year by Big Brothers Big Sisters Lone Star
	and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success and
	happiness; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for Dr. Johnson as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.

	Anderson
