                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  As we seek to follow Your command, O God, to do justice and love 
mercy, we are grateful that Your word provides a vision and an insight 
into the people we ought to be and the paths we should take. Even as we 
pray for diligence and vigor to walk the way of justice, we pray also 
for a sense of humility in all we do, knowing full well that our words 
fall short of Your will and our work can easily miss the mark. May not 
arrogance cloud our efforts, but let us walk the ways of life with 
humility and grace. Amen.
