                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious God, You have created each person in Your divine image and 
given us the gift of life. Yet, we are created with distinctions and 
differences, with various ideas and backgrounds, and these contrasts 
can bring conflict and discord. May Your good spirit, O God, so lead 
and guide us that we will not only be tolerant of one another, but 
rather learn the positive values and the lasting benefits of respect 
and honor, of esteem and appreciation. Bless us and all Your people, 
this day and every day, we pray, Amen.
