                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Our hearts are thrilled, O gracious God, by the gift of renewal and 
refreshment in our lives, by a spirit that allows us to put aside any 
tired ways to find new energy, that permits a new attitude to correct 
habits and develop meaningful and profound ways of service. While we 
admit it is easier to follow old ways, we pray, O God, we will be open 
to Your guidance and be honest with ourselves and in harmony with You, 
our creator and redeemer.
  This is our earnest prayer. Amen.
