                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, we come 
before You in this quiet moment of prayer with our petitions both great 
and small. We place before You our aspirations and hopes, our dreams 
and our ambitions, asking that You bless that which is good and 
honorable and show us the way of truth. May Your spirit correct us when 
wrong, amend our willful deeds, and teach us the power of faith and 
hope and love in all we do or ask or say. In Your name, we pray. Amen.
