                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We are grateful, O God, that in all the moments of life there are 
friends and colleagues who offer to us their counsel and good word, who 
speak the truth with us and who correct us when we need correction, who 
support us when we need help, and who walk with us when we are alone. 
Our hearts are thankful, O gracious God, that every person can receive 
love and respect and kindness from others, even as we open our hearts 
and minds to those near and dear to us. May Your blessing, O God, that 
is new every morning and is with us in the depths of our souls, be with 
us this day and every day. Amen.
