                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  With gratitude for the traditions we share, in appreciation for the 
values we hold dear, and with acknowledgment of the contributions of 
those who have gone before, we begin this day with all the 
opportunities and responsibilities before us. O gracious God, creator 
of life and author of every good gift, we ask Your blessing upon each 
of us asking that You would give us the grace to be the people You 
would have us be and do those good things that honor You and serve 
people whatever their need. May Your good spirit, O God, that is with 
us in all the moments of life, be with us and every person, now and 
evermore. Amen.
