                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious God, You have made the heavens and the Earth and given to 
Your people the miracles of life. Now it is our prayer that we will use 
the gifts You have freely given by translating our good words and noble 
intent into actions that promote justice and respect one for another. 
We admit that it is easy to talk about Your blessings and yet we can 
neglect to see those blessings in another's work. Open our eyes to see 
the truth as best we can, open our ears to truly hear, and open our 
hands in the spirit of shared commitment and mutual concern. In Your 
name, we pray. Amen.
