                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  From the first hours of new life to the last rays of the Sun, from 
the opening of each day of grace to the final moments of our time, may 
we, O gracious God, not neglect our words of prayer, praise, and 
thanksgiving. While we know how easily we are absorbed in our tasks and 
our eyes miss the heavenly vision, we know too that You do not forget 
us; we acknowledge that our lives stray here or there, yet we know too 
that Your goodness and Your love sustain us all our days. For these and 
all Your blessings, O God, we offer these words of thanksgiving. Amen.
