                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford,  D.D.,  offered  the  following 
prayer:
  We pray, O gracious God, that we will focus our energies and 
abilities in ways that calm any troubled waters, that help straighten 
any crooked road, that we will help people know faith and hope and 
love. As we quickly move along life's way, may we treasure the virtues 
of being reconcilers of the truth and custodians of the marvelous gifts 
of Your Word. In the vocations of each day enable us to hold dear to 
that which is eternal and strive always to be the people You would have 
us be. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
