                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We pray, O gracious God, that though we may depart from Your spirit 
through our willful ways, Your spirit will not depart from us. And 
though we may wander in our rush to do all the things that crowd our 
days, You will be patient with every person. Grant to us, O God, and to 
all Your people, the wisdom to heed Your Word and meditate on Your ways 
that in our busyness and in our seeming significance we do not lose the 
great blessings that are Your gifts to us. Amen.
