                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We look to the days ahead with grateful recognition of the 
opportunities before us and before all people. May Your spirit, O God, 
lead us to see that which is integral in our lives so that we can act 
on the substance of living and not focus on the insignificant or 
superficial. We know, gracious God, that You have called us to do great 
works, You command us to seek justice and mercy and to promote peace 
and freedom, and so we ask that with allegiance and devotion we will 
think and do and be the people You would have us be. In Your name, we 
pray. Amen.
