                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Open our eyes, O gracious God, so that we may see the magnificence of 
Your creation; open our minds to the promises of Your true and lively 
word; open our ears to hear the words of others and to listen to their 
thoughts and experiences; open our intellect so we can understand the 
mysteries of knowledge and the fruits of wisdom, and open our hearts so 
we can love and forgive, so we can hope and have faith, so we can be 
thankful for all Your good gifts of life and the blessings of each new 
day. Amen.
