                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We give thanks, gracious God, for the awesome miracles of life, 
miracles that brighten our world, enrich our lives and testify to Your 
glory. We are grateful that Your spirit of creation and renewal breaks 
into history and proclaims to us the riches of Your grace and even the 
very purpose for our existence. Bless us, O God, and all Your people 
and may we be alert to the miracles that bring new life into being and 
are a witness every day to Your abiding grace. This is our earnest 
prayer. Amen.
