                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious God, from whom we have received our very lives and in whom 
is our hope and confidence, we express our thanksgiving for this new 
day and the opportunities that are before us. We place before You our 
needs, those attitudes and feelings and hopes that are dear to us, 
asking that You would bless us so we choose the better way, confirm us 
in all truth, and forgive us in the depths of our hearts. May what we 
say and do and think this day be to Your glory and honor. In Your name, 
we pray. Amen.
