                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  In the stillness of this moment, in the quiet of our prayer, we place 
before You, O God, that which is in our hearts and souls, those 
thoughts and ideas and feelings that make us what we are and direct us 
along life's way. We pray, gracious God, that You would refresh us and 
encourage us, that You would heal our hearts and make us strong, that 
You would forgive us when we miss the mark and give peace to every 
soul. For the wonders of the world and the little miracles of every 
day, we offer these words of prayer and thanksgiving. In Your name, we 
pray. Amen.
