                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We are reminded by the Psalmist that Your Word, O God, is a lamp to 
our feet and a light to our path. In these times when there are many 
options available to people in their lives and diverse opinions and 
ideas, we pray for lamps to lighten our way and show us the course to 
follow. We recognize that we can communicate with all the authorities 
from every background and attempt to gain all knowledge, and yet we 
know that to be touched by Your spirit is the beginning of wisdom. May 
that spirit, O God, that is new every morning, encourage and lighten 
our path, now and evermore. Amen.
