                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious God, You have made the rivers and oceans and all the 
mountains, You brought into being people from every place on this Earth 
and You have done all things for our use and for our satisfaction. But 
more than all those gifts, O God, You have breathed into us the very 
breath of life, You know our names and You know our needs even before 
we ask. We offer this prayer in gratefulness of these blessings, for 
the opportunities before us, and for the comfort of Your eternal 
presence. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
