                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  May Your word, O God, that brought the Earth into being and sustains 
us along life's way not only comfort us, but examine and correct us in 
our vision, our motivations, and our purposes. We know that we are 
accountable to You for our lives and responsible to each other for our 
deeds so we pray that we will see Your mighty purposes for justice 
among us. Sustain us, strengthen us, judge us, forgive us, and minister 
to us in the depths of our hearts. This is our earnest prayer. Amen.
