                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  With the cluttered agendas of each day and with the demands and 
duties that mark our time, we pray, O God, that we will also see the 
glories and the miracles of daily life. With so many obligations that 
press on every side and the anxieties that mark troubled days, may we 
experience the abiding peace that Your presence allows. With the 
temporary fads and the transitory ideas that crowd our existence, we 
pray, O loving God, that we will cling to the timeless truths and the 
eternal hopes that are Your gift to us. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
