                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  You have told us in Your word, O God, that there is a time for 
everything under the Sun--a time that is right for all our actions. 
Among the seasons that the scripture describes is the time for silence 
and the time to speak. Remind us always, O gracious God, that we should 
have a sensitivity to what others are saying, that we should listen to 
words and the meaning and purpose of the words, that we should honestly 
interpret what is said and then speak with clarity and wisdom. Grant 
that the words we say with our lips, we may believe in our hearts, and 
all that we believe in our hearts, may we practice in our daily lives. 
Amen.
